She has combined two validated strategies to help children acquire the critical skills that are so important for successful functioning in the school and home. This innovative approach presents social stories, written about real-life situations using the language and vocabulary level of the child, through video self-modeling. The result is Success Stories, a highly-motivating strategy in which the child is the star. After conducting extensive classroom and home-based research, Jessica developed the Success Stories Guidebook so that others can learn how to use this powerful strategy. In easy-to-follow steps, teachers and parents can create their own Success Stories individually tailored to meet the specific needs of the child.” – Jack Mayhew, Ph.D., Weber State University
