A social story is a written narrative which helps to illustrate certain situations, problems and challenges and how children can deal with them. They can assist children in understanding social norms and how to unpick challenges. Social stories can contain information that we often take for granted- for example how to brush your teeth.

Below is a range of social stories that you might find useful to support your child at home. If you would like a social story for a different situation, you can try to create one yourself or speak to your child's class teacher.

• Brushing your teeth
• Getting ready for school
• Making good choices
• Hitting
• Using safe hands
• Personal space
• Telling the truth
• Taking turns in a game
