What our users say
“Ava uses Special Stories to create a story of her day which we look at when she gets home. It’s a wonderful way to explore the world and encourage children to open up about the way they interact with the environment around them.”

“My daughter is doing a BTEC in home cooking skills and her Teaching Assistant takes pictures of her making the recipes so she has them all recorded to help her with remembering her skills to make the meals again at home.”
Gillian Bowlas, Parent
“Some of our students have expressed concern about school trips, as they are the ‘unknown’. The way Special Stories can be personalised means we could use the teachers voice and step-by-step photos to show what will be involved in the trip.”

“This app is amazing, I made a ten page "all about me" story in minutes and my daughter loves it. Within a few hours of seeing it she began asking for the story in a very clear voice. This alone made it worth every penny.”
Debbie, Parent
