Preparation

Social Story Creator

Build a simple, illustrated story to prepare for a new place, event or routine. Add a picture and a sentence for each page, then read it aloud or print it.

Private to you: stories are saved on this device only. Nothing is sent to us.

  1. Step 1: Tap 'New blank story', or start from an example like 'Going to the doctor' and change it to fit.
  2. Step 2: Tap 'Add page'. Choose a picture and write (or say, using the microphone) what happens on that page.
  3. Step 3: Write as 'I', with short sentences. Open 'Tips for writing a good story' for help.
  4. Step 4: Use 'Earlier' and 'Later' to reorder pages.
  5. Step 5: Tap 'Read story' to go through it page by page. Turn on 'Read each page aloud' to hear every page as you go.
  6. Step 6: Tap 'Print whole story' to print every page, ready to make into a little book.

Or start from an example

Each example makes your own copy. Change the words and pictures to match the real place, people and routine.
