The Gray Centre for Social Learning and Understanding: Social Stories™
The Gray Center . The Gray Centre for Social Learning and Understanding: Social Stories™
Social stories are narratives that are developed to help people with ASD understand social situations and manage their anxiety. These stories may also encourage appropriate behaviour, though Carol Gray, developer of the concept, states that this is not the first goal. Her website offers guidance, examples, and short video clips in which Gray talks about the approach.
