Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article presents the results of an experimental study examining the use of the Social Stories method in the development of learning-behavioral skills in early primary school-aged children (6–7 years) during individual developmental sessions. The intervention demonstrated positive changes in instruction-following, self-control, sustained attention, and social engagement. The findings indicate that the Social Stories method contributes to increased motivation for learning activities and improvement of learning-behavioral skills. However, the degree of progress varies depending on the level of cognitive development and the severity of speech impairments.
