Social Stories™
I’m Carol Gray, and my journey began in 1976 as a teacher working with four children with autism at Jenison Public Schools in Michigan. In 1990, I developed Social Stories, and I’ll be your guide to their history. Together, we’ll explore their philosophical roots and evolution. Researching old files and articles has deepened—and at times corrected—my understanding of Social Stories. While I once believed they originated from a single student conversation, I now see they developed over several years. This collection aims to set the record straight, sharing the key moments, challenges, and insights that shaped Social Stories, backed by unprecedented documentation.
