Some children with special needs react with difficult
behaviors like tantrums when going into a store. Going Shopping Social Story is
an app that focuses on things that can be fun while shopping. Because children
with special needs such as Down syndrome or autism often need more visual
examples of what they can or cannot do, this app uses brightly colored
images to illustrate good shopping behavior. Going Shopping Social Story also
helps your child know what to expect at the store.
Social Stories were first developed by Carol Gray in 1991 as
a means of breaking down a task or social situation into easy-to-understand
steps. They are often accompanied by vivid pictures. Social stories are now
used by professionals in treating a variety of behaviors.
This app is available on Android, iPad, and iPhone for
$2.99.
