Toward interactive social stories for children with autism

Published: 19 October 2014 Publication History

Abstract

This paper proposes Interactive Social Stories (ISS), a new approach for enhancing traditional autism interventions to promote stimulus { em generalization}. Using interactive narrative techniques of variability and branching structures, we designed a tablet-based ISS app called FriendStar to teach 9-13 year old children on the autism spectrum the social skills of greeting in the school context.
