A social story is a personalized tool designed to help both children and adults with autism navigate various social situations. It uses clear language and supportive visuals to explain what to expect in scenarios such as moving to a new house, starting a new school, making new friends, or going on a new trip.
How It Helps:
- Improves Understanding: Clarifies what to expect and how to respond in different situations.
- Reduces Anxiety: Provides a clear guide to manage new or challenging experiences.
- Promotes Positive Behavior: Encourages appropriate responses and interactions.
- Builds Confidence: Helps individuals feel more comfortable and prepared.
