I have been over the moon excited about these spankin’ new resources and there are many more on the way. I wanted a way to take social stories to the next level and provide my students with a way to practice and engage with different social and behavioral issues. These social story adapted books are the perfect solution to this and there are many more on the way! This first set – Communication Skills: Social Story Adapted Books – has been on constant repeat in my class and I could not be more pleased with my students’ excitement and progress with these books!
Social stories are a successful way to increase positive behaviors and decrease negative behaviors! This resource combines two effective strategies – social stories and adapted books! These books are interactive, engaging, and visually-based! They provide response options for appropriate behaviors so students can demonstrate their understanding of each concept.
This first set is based on my popular Visual Social Story Packet for Children with Autism: Communication Set 1. This resource works on different communication and social skills. Four adapted books are included in this resource:
- I Don’t Interrupt
- Asking Politely
- Commenting
- Good Listener
Each page of the book provides a multiple choice response with moveable pieces. This allows your students to work on discriminating appropriate responses versus inappropriate responses. It lets your students expand beyond just reading what to and not to and let’s them get involved.
My kids love practicing what to do and especially love practicing what not to do. Who doesn’t love modeling the naughty behavior.

I absolutely LOVE these books – especially because they can include
“inappropriate” responses or distractors to ensure engagement and correct responding. Nice work!
I am so excited about these books. I have bought a ton of your social stories. I usually make Promethean flipcharts of them for my students to do whole group and then use the books individually. These are already so interactive. They will be a snap to adapt. Thanks!
Great to hear! We love them too 🙂
Awesome! I love how interactive these are!
