Social Skills Stories Forever GROWING Bundle (Printable PDF)
127 social skills stories. Fully editable. Forever growing.
The Social Skills Stories Forever Growing Bundle is the complete library of AdaptEd's social skills stories — 127 stories spanning puberty, school, life, community, hygiene, job skills, social skills, and neurodiversity-affirming topics. Every story is editable, so you can personalize scenarios, swap in student names, and adjust language complexity for the learners in front of you.
Created by Meg Mott, M.S., CCC-SLP, AdaptEd's resident SLP and parent of an autistic son. Drawn from years of classroom and clinical practice with students who needed clearer, more direct social skills instruction than what existing materials offered.
Buy once. Get every future story free. The bundle grows as we add stories, with no additional charge to existing owners — and the price increases over time, so early buyers get the best deal.
Why the bundle vs. individual stories
Individual stories sell for $3.99 each. At today's count, buying all 127 stories individually would cost $506.73. The bundle saves you $126.85 right now — and every story added in the future is included free, so the savings compound over time.
Buy individual stories when you need one specific story for one specific moment. Buy a smaller themed bundle when you want a focused category. Buy this bundle when you want comprehensive coverage that grows with your students' needs.

Direct, affirming language. Written by an SLP who is also the parent of an autistic son. Stories are clear about expectations without pathologizing the learner's experience or assuming deficit.
