A printable PDF and play-anywhere video that walks your child through the dentist, the first day, the supermarket, with their name, a photo or avatar of them, and their actual situation.
Social stories break a new or tricky situation into short, first-person steps with a picture for each one. Widely used by parents, teachers, and allied health professionals, they give a child a chance to walk through it on the sofa before they walk through it in real life.
The catch: most templates feature a stock-photo child who isn't your child. Lionmain rebuilds the story around your child specifically. Same situation, but it's them in it.
The dentist on Tuesday. A new classroom. A flight. Whatever's coming up.
Upload a photo, or build an avatar and we'll generate a realistic or storybook style picture of them.
A printable personalised social story and a play-anywhere video, ready in minutes.
Parents use Lionmain social stories for autism, ADHD, sensory processing differences, anxiety, selective mutism, and plain old new-thing nerves. If predictability helps your child cope, a personalised story helps more.
A social story is a short, predictable visual guide that walks a child through a new or tricky situation step by step — what will happen, who they'll meet, what they can do if it feels too much. They're widely used by parents, teachers, and allied health professionals supporting autistic and neurodivergent children.
You can write one yourself by breaking the situation into short, first-person sentences with a picture for each step. Or you can describe the situation to Lionmain, add a photo or build an avatar, and it makes a personalised social story around your child, delivered as a printable PDF and a playable video, in a few minutes.
No. Social stories help any child who finds change, transitions, or new sensory environments hard — including ADHD, anxiety, sensory processing differences, and neurotypical children facing a big first.
No. You can build an avatar instead and we'll generate a realistic or storybook style picture of them. Either way, the story is personal. Your child sees themselves in the story.
