The C word… Christmas (Part 3)

Social stories are incredible for helping individuals on the Autistic spectrum have a clear understanding of a situation, or prepare them for a situation that is new or different. By using social stories and providing information about what might happen in a certain situation you increase structure and therefore decrease anxiety.

Christmas is full of new and different experiences so what better way to help your individual by using social stories to prepare them. Present the social story at a time when everyone is relaxed and calm…why not try ‘I have written a story for you about Christmas day, let’s read it together’. I have attached four free social stories for you to download and use during this holiday season!
