Expo Showcase: Storytelling to Help Students Cope with Everyday Challenges

When my son struggled with everyday transitions, his kindergarten teacher wrote a personalized story to help him prepare, cope, and feel understood. Seeing its impact inspired me to build Ozzystory — now used in 100+ schools. In this interactive, hands-on session, you’ll create your own student-centered, AI-supported social stories in real time. We’ll explore how structured, personalized storytelling can reduce anxiety, support emotional regulation, and strengthen communication — while aligning with evidence-informed social narrative practices. Walk away with practical tools you can immediately use to support students in special education settings.
