Press reviews for: Successful Social Stories™ for School and College Students with Autism
Jude Ragan, ex-head of Queensmill School, freelance autism education specialist
The context-setting, that helps further understanding of autistic thinking is superb, as are the examples of the social stories themselves. If this were a 'must-have' for every school and college, life for autistic children would be that much better.
Lisa Faulkner
As a professional who works with young adults with autism in a day setting, I found this book very useful. It was great to see examples of the social stories and even better to read about real life experiences the author has had with her son.

Most children are able to interpret and respond to social contexts and cues in school with incredible speed and without effort. For others, like those diagnosed with autism, the events and interactions of each day hold elusive meanings and unforeseen pitfalls. Social Stories are like a magic wand that replaces confusion with information and fear with confidence, to build social competence one Story at a time.
