Social stories that star your student

Personalized with each student’s own avatar and available at four developmental levels, every story makes targeted instruction more relevant, engaging, and easier to put into practice.

When students see themselves, the lesson becomes personal

Each student’s custom avatar puts them at the center of the story, making unfamiliar or challenging situations less abstract and easier to connect to their own lives.

Personal connection

Seeing themselves in the story helps students connect the lesson to their own experiences.

Increased motivation

Personalized, interactive stories help capture attention and keep students engaged in learning.

Understanding that carries over

Students can see themselves navigating situations before they encounter them in real life, helping reinforce skills they can use beyond the story.

Four developmental levels

Meet every student where they are

Students don’t develop every skill at the same pace. A student may need beginner-level support with one skill and be proficient in another. Four developmental levels make it easier to choose the right level of support for each student and each need.

FUNDAMENTAL

Early social concepts and everyday routines.
Examples: Taking turns · Following directions · Waiting

BEGINNER

Familiar social situations with simple choices and interactions.
Examples: Asking for help · Sharing · Handling changes

INTERMEDIATE

More complex situations, interactions, and social problem-solving.
Examples: Joining a group · Handling disagreements · Managing frustration

PROFICIENT

Nuanced situations requiring greater social and emotional understanding.
Examples: Perspective taking · Complex emotions · Navigating relationships

The story ends, the learning doesn't

Each story includes follow-up activities designed for its developmental level, progressing from concept reinforcement to increasingly complex comprehension as students are ready.

Reinforce the concept

Highly supported follow-up activities, including Fundamental-level coloring workbooks, reinforce the central idea of the story for learners building foundational understanding

Build comprehension

As skills develop, follow-up questions ask students to interpret what happened and demonstrate their understanding in increasingly challenging ways

Go beyond recall

More advanced activities introduce deeper questions, including WH questions, that ask students to think about the situations, choices, and concepts in the story
