  • Social Stories

    Social Stories

    Social Stories support members of the community by preparing them for what they will see, hear and do at an event. They are a way to prepare for an event, new activity or change to routine. With pictures and simple text, Social Stories help to lessen the anxiety of the new by introducing them to the things that they will see, hear and can do – ahead of time. View the New Year’s Eve Social Story which is a Microsoft Word document so that it can be customised to meet the individual needs of the families who use them.
