intervention on social skill acquisition among children in

and twenty pupils (n = 120) with social skill impairment
participated in the study. The Social Skills Rating System
Child version (SSRS-C) was used in collecting data. The
method of data analysis used in the study was the t-test
statistic. The digital storytelling intervention significantly
improved the social skills of primary school childrenwho
