Why Social Stories Are Effective
Social stories break down topics in a calm, reassuring way that makes them easier for children to understand. They are helpful for children who need extra support with routines, boundaries, or social understanding, and are especially beneficial for autistic children who may find social expectations unclear or overwhelming.
