Going to a New School Social Story

Description

This social story is a great read for students who may need some support and help when going to a new school. This social story talks students through the process of starting at the school and how it may make them feel, and how they can deal with those feelings. Many students with autism don’t like change, and the process of changing schools can cause severe anxiety for the individual, because they don’t know what to expect at this school, having a different teachers, making new friends etc.

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. If you need a more personalised version of this story made, don’t forget to have a look at our custom social story option which can be tailored to your child/individual student so that it is more relevant to them on a personal level.

Comes in col option only – no b/w availability, however you can print in grayscale. I highly recommend laminating the pages and binding them together as a book so that it will be stronger and longer lasting.

Pages included are;
♦ Soon, I am going to be going to a new school.
♦ Before I start there, I am going to visit the school.
♦ On my visit I will get to meet my new teacher and the other children.
♦ I will also be able to look around the school and see where my classroom is.
♦ This will help me get ready for when I come to my new school.
♦ For my new school, I might have to wear a new uniform.
