SocialQuest AI is an educational practice app. It does not diagnose or replace professional support.

Stories are a starting point

A social story can make hidden parts of a situation visible: who is there, what changed, what someone may feel, and what the child could try next.

Use choices, not commands

Children often learn more when they compare options. Instead of saying, 'Say this,' try, 'Which choice helps both people feel heard?'

Practice should leave room for needs

A helpful response can include asking for a break, using fewer words, choosing a quieter place, or saying no kindly. Social learning should include boundaries.
