Stories 10.3 Workshop Description
Social Stories™* have been used for over thirty years with people with a diagnosis of autism of all ages to meaningfully and effectively share social information. Known for their sound philosophy and personalized practicality, the first Social Stories supported secondary students in vocational experiences in the community. Today, Social Stories are a respected evidence-based practice that is frequently employed with individuals diagnosed with autism, social communication disorders, or other disabilities, as well as typically developing children. Each Story addresses a specific topic via a process and document characteristics that adhere to ten defining criteria that ensure the quality and safety of the approach.
Using lecture, discussion, and activities, participants will learn how to research, develop, and implement a Social Story according to the recently updated and revised Social Stories 10.3 Criteria. In addition to a PowerPoint® handout, each participant will receive a workbook with short one-to-three-minute exercises to apply concepts and practice skills as they are presented.

*Social Stories 10.3 Definition: Recognizing that every human experience and perspective is unique and valid, and that social impairments and their solutions are shared, a Social Story accurately describes a personally relevant topic (often a context, skill, achievement, or concept) according to ten defining criteria. These criteria guide Story research, development, and implementation to ensure an overall patient and supportive quality and a format, voice, content, and learning experience that is descriptive, meaningful, respectful, and physically, socially, and emotionally safe for the Story audience (a child, adolescent, or adult).
Originally called the Social Story Guidelines, the process of developing a Social Story has been periodically revised and reorganized to keep pace with ongoing research, as well as experience with the approach. In 2004, The Social Story Guidelines were organized into Social Stories 10.0, ten criteria that clearly defined what is – and what is not – a Social Story. Nine years later they became Social Stories 10.1, the first major revision and reorganization of Social Stories 10.0, with Social Stories 10.2 released in May of 2014. This workshop is based on the very new Social Stories 10.3 Criteria (2021).
