Social Story Going to the Farm, Trip

Description

This social story is a great read for students who may need some support and help when going on a visit to the farm. This social story will hopefully help learners understand what to expect on their trip to the farm and that they do not have to take part in all activities but can watch instead until they possibly build the confidence to take part.

Many students with autism are visual learners and like to learn through seeing something in action. This book comes complete with matching, simple yet engaging graphics to help describe what is being said on the page.

Comes in col option only – no b/w availability, however you can print in grayscale.
