A customized electronic storybook is an interactive digital application designed for devices such as laptops, desktop computers, iPads, and smartphones. These digital books provide an alternative medium for individuals to develop communication skills, understand expectations, and promote desired behaviours. Customized electronic storybooks are particularly effective in reducing off-task behaviours while increasing attention, competence, and engagement, especially for individuals who experience reading or attention challenges.
The book can be used for:
✓ Reading
✓ Identifying
✓ Matching
✓ Labeling
✓ Sequencing
✓ Creating sentences
Visual examples of how electronic storybooks are used include:
Social story screen
Visual example: A tablet screen showing simple text paired with photos or symbols (e.g., “When I go to the doctor, I wait my turn”) with a next-page arrow.
Routine sequence pages
Visual example: A step-by-step morning routine with pictures/icons for brushing teeth, getting dressed, and eating breakfast.
Behaviour support story
Visual example: Pages illustrating coping strategies, such as taking deep breaths or asking for help, with calming visuals and short sentences.
Audio-supported pages
Visual example: A storybook page with a speaker icon that reads the text aloud while highlighting each word or image.
Life skills practice
Visual example: A digital story showing photos of ordering food, paying at a counter, or using public transportation in real-life settings.
