While some students can learn these social competencies through observation and imitation of others, other students require intensive intervention in social skills to be able to interact appropriately with others. This article presents social stories as a behavioral intervention option for educators. Detailed steps describe 5 stages of the intervention process: 1) identifying target behavior, 2) establishing baseline, 3) writing the story, 4) implementing the intervention, and 5) evaluating effectiveness.
