Listen "128. Writing Social Stories: Helping participants through new, changing or difficult tasks"
Episode Synopsis
In today’s episode, we’re diving into social stories — those short, purposeful narratives designed to help people better understand specific situations, events, or tasks. You’ve probably heard of them, especially in the context of supporting neurodivergent children, including those with autism, ADHD, or challenges with transitions and change. Social stories can be incredibly powerful tools — if they’re done right. But writing them isn’t just about being creative; it’s about being intentional. That’s why today, we’re breaking down: What social stories are and who can benefit from them Why they work (and when they don’t) The step-by-step process to write a high-quality social story Real-life EAS examples to guide you A free downloadable resource to help you get started!What to expect at your first evaluation video “social story”: https://hetra.org/programming/participant-resources/getting-started.htmlAccess to the Neurodivergent mini course and other HETRA University webinars: https://hetra.org/education/register-for-webinars.htmlPatreon link for the social story handout: www.patreon.com/notjustaponyrideThis episode is proudly sponsored by Freedom Rider: https://freedomrider.com/Follow us on social and plug in here: https://hetrauniversity.mykajabi.com/HETRAUniversityLinks
