Volume 1:
The Specialminds
Foundation and the Gray Center for Social Learning and Understanding
have created the first of 25 Social Story Movies. Utilizing a one-step-at-a-time
strategy, many of the stories are designed to be implemented in a sequence.
Thus, several stories often work together to describe a single movie
using clear vocabulary and the patient and unassuming manner that are
characteristic of this approach.
Parents and professional
around the world have already experienced success using Carol Grays
Social Stories with a wide variety of children and adolescents. Now
parents and professionals can watch Social Stories acted out by real
children, parents, and teachers. Freeze-frames show the
text of the Social Stories which reinforces the concepts being taught.
The professional
version contains both color and black and white versions of all the
Social Stories TM without the announcer or the text overlays. This allows
the parent or professional to further work with the child on the concepts
in the Social Stories, and enables additional flexibility. The professional
version also has a CD with still photos from every scene in every story
plus a description of games and activities associated with each group
of stories.
