I love the idea of social stories and went to the suggested site of
www.sandboxlearning.com. But I am not finding anything there on writing social stories. Am I at the right site or am I not using the site right?

Does anyone know of any other helpful sites for learning to use and write social stories. I am not a very creative person when it comes to writing so I will need all the help I can get. Anything free is great! We are a one income family and money is tighter than tight!!!

Thanks,
Connie
