Why It Matters
Routine preventative healthcare should never be stressful. The unpredictable nature of a simple blood test or vaccination however can pose a challenge for those with autism, or communication disorders. Despite having therapeutic uses in helping people understand situations, creating bespoke social stories is time consuming.
We believe that cognitive accessibility should be a fundamental part of healthcare. Our instant creation of bespoke, reassuring stories helps transform fear inducing unknowns into easy to manage, relatable scenarios with the patient as the hero. This reduces stress during waiting times, whilst providing dignity to patients by providing them with a much needed tool. We also ensure that neurodivergent people are able to safely receive the medical care they deserve by giving families a coping mechanism.
Most existing social stories or medical prep books are generic and rarely account for an individual's specific sensory triggers like a particular aversion to sound, needles, or lighting.
Safe Space Stories is bridging the gap: we use tools tailored to your exact emotional and situational anxiety, giving much stronger coping outcomes.
