Printable Social Story - My first school sleepover

Have you heard about a powerful tool known as "Social Stories". They are individualised, short and effective stories that teach kids new skills, prepare them for a change or transition, or support them to change their behaviour. Social stories can be used for many reasons and across a variety of ages and abilities and have proven to be instrumental in aiding children with various challenges in accomplishing everyday tasks.

Over the coming months, Emily, our in-house Occupational Therapist, will provide you with a range of Social Stories for all sorts of situations facing children. Our first story is designed to support a child as they embark on their first-ever school sleepover adventure. It's a unique resource tailored to ease the anxieties and uncertainties that can arise in such situations, making it an invaluable tool for both children and their parents or caregivers.
