Social stories are a helpful tool for teaching expected behaviors, especially for children or individuals with disabilities. These short, descriptive narratives explain a situation, highlight appropriate responses, and offer clear guidance in a positive and supportive way. By reading or listening to a social story, a student can better understand what to expect and how to behave in a specific setting, like taking turns, handling frustration, or following classroom rules. This approach helps reduce anxiety, build social skills, and encourage independence, making it easier to navigate everyday interactions.
