Social Stories!

Social stories are great tools designed to help children understand situations that might feel scary or overwhelming. These personalized narratives provide clear and simple explanations about what to expect in various scenarios, such as visiting the doctor, starting a new school, or attending a social event. By breaking down the steps, social stories can significantly reduce anxiety and build confidence in your child.

​

Social stories can be customized to address your child's unique needs and challenges. Whether your child needs support with daily routines, social interactions, or specific fears, we can tailor these stories to ensure they are relatable and effective.
