Social Stories with an Upgrade


Social Stories have been an integral part of helping children who struggle with regulation and social adjustment for many years. Recently, I was speaking at conference when one of the attendees spoke up and said that the Challenge Software Program "seems like Social Stories with an upgrade."


The program utilizes filtered video scenarios of real-life situations that children often struggle with. The scenarios are interactive and feature alternate endings to the story based on the child's navigation through the decision-making process.


This program takes the traditional social story to a whole new level of interaction and engagement that cannot be achieved through a workbook. The "Social Story" connection adds another dimension to the cognitive-behavioral approach of the program.
