This week in the Research Room we are thrilled to have Dr. Kerry Bell and Dr. Jane Blackwell from the ASSIST 2 project!

Their trial, completed in 2022, explored whether Social Stories™ could be an effective way to support autistic children at school. We discuss the ins and outs of the trial, the challenges they faced, especially when COVID threw a curveball their way and, excitingly, they even have results to share!
