Carol Gray, the originator of social stories, was
approached by a producer in Hollywood whose son has autism. He
told Carol he was thankful for the social stories because it helped
his son. He asked her is he ever considered making
videos to visually show the kids the "missing information" they
don't get. So, Carol and this guy, Mark Shelley, forged a
partnership called The Carol Gray Project. Mark's
company is producing all of Carol's hard copy social stories
and putting them in a video format. There are three
samples in this website. It takes 1 -2 minutes to
download the movie all depending on your computer. It is well
worth the wait.
