Staying Safe and Safer Strangers - A Stranger Danger Social Story
This app features two community safety social stories designed to help children learn about safer strangers, buildings, and what to do if they are lost. The first story focuses on identifying safe individuals to ask for help, while the second story offers guidance on how to handle being lost. Teaching these skills can be challenging, especially for children with special needs. Social stories, like the ones in this app, provide visual support and simple explanations to help children understand how to stay safe in their community. Developed by Carol Gray in 1991, social stories have since become a widely used tool for teaching social skills to children with autism spectrum disorders, Down syndrome, and other special needs. This app offers a user-friendly way to introduce children to important safety information using engaging narratives and descriptive pictures.
