You’ll learn:

  • What social stories are and where the idea originated

  • Why they’re so effective for reducing anxiety and sensory overload

  • How visuals + predictable sequences help prepare kids for new experiences

  • A simple step-by-step method for writing your own social story

  • A real example you can use for holiday gatherings or school events

  • Quick tips for reading the story, reinforcing coping strategies, and supporting your child
