Social Stories are individualized short stories that help people share information with young children, especially children with autism. The visuals and text can provide clear information about a specific situation or topic while providing the child with a plan of what they can do to navigate the situation. To support your child to navigate our current school closure, check out these social stories about the virus and school. (Be sure to preview each story to choose the one that is at the right level for your child.)
