Social stories are important for kids, especially those with autism and other exceptionalities because they help them understand and navigate social situations more effectively.
Social stories help children navigate new experiences by providing explanations of what to expect, which reduces anxiety and builds confidence. They prepare children by describing the situation, setting expectations for behavior, and offering strategies to manage emotions if they feel overwhelmed. By highlighting positive aspects of the experience and providing reassurance, social stories shift the focus from fear of the unknown to excitement. Through repetition, children can internalize the information, making unfamiliar situations feel more familiar and manageable. This empowers them to approach new experiences with greater understanding and independence.
We have created social stories for each of the therapies that we offer to help children know what to expect when starting therapy.
