StoryKnow: Social Story Maker

Individualized social stories made easy — your photos, your words, your own voice. Speech therapist-designed templates, cartoon mode kids love. First 7 stories free.

Every child's world is different. Their stories should be too.

StoryKnow lets parents, special educators, speech therapists, BCBAs, and other therapists create truly individualized social stories in minutes — starring the child's own photos, written in words they know, and narrated in a voice they trust: yours.

WHY STORYKNOW

• Personal voice narration — record the story in your own voice (or a familiar caregiver's), because a known voice reassures like no synthetic one can
• Built on the classic social story framework — story structure follows the widely used 10-criteria approach developed by Carol Gray, with guidance that keeps descriptive and coaching sentences in healthy balance
• Speech therapist-designed templates — ready-made story starters for everyday situations: first day of school, doctor visits, haircuts, new siblings, transitions, and more
• Three picture modes — the child's real photos, a cartoon mode that turns photos into friendly illustrations, or curated stock images
• Photo Coach — tells you exactly what photo each panel needs, so building a story never stalls
• Made for real life — create a story tonight, use it tomorrow morning

WHO IT'S FOR

Parents & caregivers: prepare your child for new places, changes in routine, and big feelings — with a story about them, not a generic character.

Special educators & therapists (speech, behavior, and occupational therapists): build individualized stories for your caseload fast, grounded in the sentence-type structure you already use, ready to share with families for home carryover.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Pick a template or start blank
2. Add the child's photos (or switch to cartoon mode)
3. Fine-tune the text — StoryKnow keeps the sentence balance on track
4. Record it in your voice
5. Read together, again and again

A NOTE ON OUR APPROACH

Social stories are a widely used way to help children — especially autistic children and other neurodivergent learners — preview situations, understand expectations, and feel prepared.
