Social stories are a great technology tool to use in the classroom when you have behavioral issues or need students to know what is going on in the classroom that they might get upset about. Social stories are a great way for students to see desired expectations, be prepared for an event that is about to take place, or reiterating a desired concept. These stories are great for all students, but especially those with ADHD,ADD, and Autism. These students connect well with using the iPads. The iPad and
other digital devices help the student communicate what they want you to know without feeling intimidated by talking to you. Some students need literal experiences and instruction's instead of vague cues other students might pick up on. These stories are acted out by the student, a script might be provided by the teacher to help the student keep their thoughts focused. Although iPads are great for students on the spectrum we must not let them get to consumed by them. Social Stories can work in the classroom setting or even in your own home.
Here are some apps that you can use to create your own social stories! 
This post is informative and creative. I love the pictures on this post..They are too cute. About the social stories, I like how you explained what social stories are created for. I actually wondered myself if it is ever too late to create one? Is a social story mainly for the beginning of a school year?
