Social Stories

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Looking for printable social stories for kids? Here you'll find lots of free social stories examples and even some social story templates to help you write your own.

Social stories were a total game changer for us. They have helped my son get through things like attending a funeral for the first time and managing the sensory overload that comes along with filling up the bathtub.

However, searching for the perfect social story is time consuming.

And sometimes, you never find the right social story you need. Things like using clipart instead of real photos, missing steps, and not giving my son the right language and vocabulary are some of the issues we have run into when searching for social stories.

So I'm slowly trying to fill the gap by creating beautiful and comprehensive social stories that use real photos with pictures of diverse children so that every child feels represented.

Below you will find tons of printable social stories for kids, including free social story templates and lots of free printable social stories.

What is a social story?

Social stories are a great way to teach autistic children a variety of skills and behaviors, as well as outline special events and social situations. Basically, a story that teaches about one specific topic, event, or social skill.

For a more detailed description, as well as tips for writing your own social stories, read more here.

But save yourself some time by using one of the printable social stories examples from below instead (some are free and some are paid).

This activity is designed to improve fine motor skills. These activities work to strengthen the pincer grasp - the grasp between the thumb and forefinger. This grasp allows you to pick up small objects and is necessary for correct handwriting.

Provide the child with exactly the number of stickers needed to complete the activity. Show them how to peel off the sticker and place one sticker in each bubble. When they are finished ask your student, "What do you see?" Two versions of the activity are available: one with just bubbles for the stickers, and the other offers a dot-to-dot jig to trace the word of what they see.
