Something else on your mind? Ask our assistant, it replies in seconds.

  • Is the social stories generator free?

    Yes — you can generate social stories for free on this page. A free account lets you save and revisit your stories, and paid plans unlock unlimited generations.

  • What is a social story?

    A social story is a short, simple narrative that explains a situation, skill or expectation from a child’s perspective — widely used to help autistic children and other learners prepare for new experiences and understand social expectations calmly.

  • Can I personalize the story to my child or student?

    Yes — include the child’s name, the specific situation (first day of school, dentist visit, fire drill), their interests and any special considerations, and the story is written for exactly that child and moment.

  • Does it include illustrations?

    Yes — each page of the story gets its own friendly, child-appropriate illustration with the same character throughout, like a real picture book that’s easy to print. Illustrations use your image credits (one per page), so the book is illustrated as far as your credits allow.

  • Can I turn the story into a video?

    Yes — after generating a story, you can turn it into a short, gently narrated video: a warm storybook-style animation with a calm voice reading the story aloud. Many children engage more readily with a video they can rewatch before the situation.

  • Who uses this tool?

    Special education teachers, parents, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists and ABA teams use it to draft stories quickly — always review and adapt the draft to the individual child, as you know them best.
