im interested in doing some social stories with my son and was wondering if some of you would share your favorite websites to find them?

i am also interested in perhaps writing some, and was hoping someone knew of a good website to learn how to do so. i want to be able to make a collection of stories about his issues specifically that i can get bound for use in his classroom. he loves books even tho he doesnt know how to read yet, so i think he would really take to social stories, especially with him in them.

I found some good stuff on
Speaking of Speech/
Follow the Materials Exchange link.

I also have some info I can scan and pm to you about how to write social stories. I have done several where I used Microsoft Power Point. My DS likes to look at them on the computer so this was an easy format for us. We sit down with the laptop and he gets to "kress" the button to turn the pages. I incorporate pictures of him in as many as I can.

The best starting point is Carol Gray's website (she invented social stories) at www.thegraycenter.org. I will be posting an interview and giveaway with Carol Gray later this month on my blog.
