Do Social Stories Really Work?
Manage episode 473033093 series 3367165
⭐️ Join the School for School Counselors Mastermind today to become the school counselor you were meant to be. ⭐️
**********************************
You’ve been asked to read a Social Story to a student—again.
And if you're being honest… you’re not sure it’s actually doing anything.
In this episode, we’re taking a closer look at the research behind Social Stories:
- Where they came from and what they were actually designed to do
- What the peer-reviewed literature says about their effectiveness (and what it doesn’t)
- How they can support emotional regulation... if you use them the right way
- The time frame for change (hint: it’s slower than you think)
- What to say when someone insists you “just need a social story”
Plus, you’ll get practical guidance on when and how to use Social Stories, and a free downloadable cheat sheet to help you back up your decisions with confidence.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Is it me… or is it the tool?”—this episode is for you.
