Social Stories That Help Your Child Thrive
Calming, animated stories designed for autistic children ages 4-12, helping them navigate everyday social situations with confidence and joy
Understanding Made Simple
Understanding social situations can be challenging
Many autistic children feel overwhelmed by unpredictable social interactions. The sensory overload, unspoken rules, and sudden changes can create anxiety and stress for both children and their families.
Traditional learning methods often move too fast or use harsh visuals that increase rather than reduce anxiety.
Sammy Stories makes learning feel like play
Our gentle, predictable animations create a safe space where children can learn at their own pace. Each story follows a comforting structure with no harsh visuals, no surprises, and plenty of time to process.
Children see themselves reflected in Sammy's experiences, making social skills feel achievable and natural.
