Developing and Delivering Digital Behavioural Interventions. We are a research team based at the University of Bath, funded by The Leverhulme Trust to complete exciting new research developing technology to support the writing and delivery of Social Stories™.
What are Social Stories™? Social Stories™ are short stories, written in a specific format and style that aim to accurately describe a context, skill or achievement (dinner time, bath time, waiting in line for example). They provide a supportive visual tool to help children better understand what is happening during certain situations that they might find confusing and/or distressing. Research has demonstrated that Social Stories™ can be an effective intervention for supporting people with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), particularly in improving social and behavioural outcomes.
However, findings can be mixed and this may be due to variations in how the Social Stories™ are written and/or presented to the child.

Milestones enable parents and physicians to monitor a baby's learning, behavior, and development.
While each child develops differently, some differences may indicate a slight delay and others may be a cause for greater concern. The following milestones provide important guidelines for tracking healthy development from four months to three years of age. Before your child's next visit to the physician, please take the time to see if your child has met his/her key milestones. These milestones should not be used in place of a screening, but should be used as discussion points between parents and physicians at each well visit. If a child does not have the skills listed---or if there is a loss of any skill at any age---be sure to let your physician know.
Check to see if your child is achieving these typical milestones at each age level: By 3-4 months By 7 Months By 12 Months/1 Year Enjoys imitating people; tries to imitate sounds Enjoys simple social games, such as “gonna get you!” DSM-5 Diagnostic Criteria.
