Stories2Learn app By MDR
This app helps autistic kids and other students with social learning challenges by creating personalized social stories with photos, text and audio messages. Stories can be created quicky with a parent or educator and shows concepts such as making eye contact, sharing, schedules in a personalized way.
Although, the benefits to autistic children are the prime focus in this app, I can see it working well for kids with social anxiety and shyness. Being able to role play and see youself dealing with different situations can help children get through uncomfortable situations.
