When teachers invite students to cocreate social stories featuring expected behaviors, they set them up for success on the playground, in the classroom, and beyond.

At Gilles-Sweet Elementary in Fairview Park, Ohio, intervention specialist Dana Reuter uses social stories to help students gain the confidence they need to navigate real-life situations. These short, personalized narratives combine visuals, age-appropriate language, and sometimes even recordings of a student’s own voice to outline both expected and unexpected behaviors. By presenting information in a clear, structured way, social stories give students tools they can rely on in the moment.
