Our "What to expect" Social stories provide descriptions of situations and activities so that children and their Grown Ups know what to expect.  

 

Research has shown that social stories assist children in:
● Coping with a change of routine and environment.
● Knowing what to expect

●Understanding social cues, emotions and expectations.
● Understanding expected behaviours.
● Transitions during the situation or activity.

Grownups can read the story to their child the day before their first class.  Ideally, the story is read right before you arrive in a quiet and calm area (e.g. the car).  If the Grownup feels the child may need extra preparation, the social story can be read multiple times in the lead up to their first class.  

The social story takes approximately 3-5 minutes to read through and has pictures of the gym and situations they may experience in class.
