This week we bring you the maaaaaagic of stories as we discuss the use of social stories in skill instruction. \xa0Will these popular and easy-to-create documents prove successful in training children to engage in more prosocial skills? Or will social stories turn out too good to be true. \xa0All this plus Rob talks Muppet eye contact, Jackie engages in literal potty talk, and Diana sums it all up with a Little Critter metaphor.

Don't forget the "Leave a Review on iTunes" contest. \xa0Just by leaving us a review, you're entered into the random drawing where the prize is a free CE!
