to create one illustrated story manually, per student, per scenario
Recognized EBP
social narratives are an evidence-based practice for autistic learners (NPDC 2014, NCAEP 2020)
The real gap
no commercial tool produced individualized, illustrated social narratives at classroom scale. Until now.
The Problem

Hand-built social narratives rarely picture the individual child, because individualized illustration was impractical to do at scale. That is the gap Tinyverse closes.

Why individual fit matters
A social narrative lands when it fits the specific child: their situation, their perspective, and their own face on the page. That individual fit is the active ingredient, not a decoration.

Building it by hand for every child was the impractical part, which is why most versions fall back on generic clip art. That is the gap Tinyverse closes.

Creating a story manually
20–45
minutes per student
Find clip art. Write text. Format pages. Customize for each child. And it is not just stories. Your team hand-builds the morning schedule, the first-then board, and the choice board the same way. For a caseload of 30, that is up to 22 hours of building, every cycle.

The full range

One photo. Every support your team already builds by hand.

The same illustrated student, across an engagement-first adventure, a social narrative, a visual support, and a speech-practice story.

Illustrated storybook page with a student as the hero of a gentle adventure.
Adventure Story
Adventure Story
The reinforcer that also builds rapport.

Use it for: a reward for hitting an IEP target, a calm-down favorite in the reading corner, pairing a student with a new aide.

Social narrative page showing a student calmly handling a school transition.
Social Narrative
Social Narrative
The transition, rehearsed before it happens.

Use it for: a fire drill, a substitute teacher, a new classroom, the bathroom or lunchroom routine, the first bus ride.

Morning routine visual schedule board with the same illustrated student on every tile.
Visual Supports
Visual Supports
The whole day, made visible, with the child in it.

Use it for: a morning arrival schedule at the cubby, a first-then board for non-preferred tasks, a choice board for a student building communication, a task sequence for handwashing or independent work.

Not stock symbols or clip art. Your student's own illustrated likeness on every tile.

Speech-practice story page highlighting a student's target words at the playground.
Word Story
Word Story New · for SLPs
Speech targets that carry home between sessions.

Use it for: /r/ or /s/ articulation practice, a target phrase for MLU, vocabulary set in the places the student actually uses it.

The old way vs Tinyverse
What most teams are missing
  • ✕Generic or non-individualized supports miss the familiar context that helps a child connect
  • ✕Generic clip art fails to create the familiar visual context that drives comprehension
  • ✕ChatGPT attempts produce inconsistent characters, students don't recognize themselves
  • ✕No visual consistency across a caseload of 30+
  • ✕Manual creation crowds out direct student time

What Tinyverse completes

We're not introducing a new intervention. We complete the framework you already use, illustrated and personalized, built on the social-narrative practice your team already relies on.

  • ✓Child's actual photo generates a consistent illustrated character across every story
  • ✓First-person perspective built in, the core criterion of a social narrative encoded in the AI
  • ✓ABA reinforcement language field ("When you use words, you earn…")
  • ✓200 templates across social narratives and visual supports: transitions, protesting, recess, bathroom, asking for help
  • ✓Read-aloud mode, device-preferred by autistic learners (Bouck et al., 2014)

Your BCBAs and RBTs build these supports by hand in 30 to 60 minutes each using image search, a snipping tool, and slides. Tinyverse does it in about two minutes.

30 Years of Research

Most districts are leaving these gains on the table.

Social narratives have a substantial peer-reviewed base and are a recognized EBP. The persistent gap has been implementation, specifically individualized illustration at scale.

Personalization
Individualized, familiar context is exactly what visual supports are designed to provide. Steinbrenner et al. (2020, NCAEP) found Visual Supports meets EBP criteria across 104 single-case and 2 group-design studies.
Steinbrenner et al. (2020) · NCAEP
Comprehension
Children connect more when they are the protagonist. Kucirkova, Messer and Sheehy (2014, First Language) found preschoolers acquired words faster from personalized books than non-personalized ones.
Kucirkova, Messer & Sheehy (2014) · First Language
Pairing works
A social narrative paired with a visual support outperforms the narrative alone.
Schneider & Goldstein (2010)
Visual supports
A recognized EBP for autistic learners across a large single-case literature.

Social Narratives

The same child, every support

Built once, from one photo. Consistent everywhere.

The same illustrated student appears across a story, a schedule, and a first-then board. When the character stays consistent, the child recognizes themselves, and that is what makes the support land.
