Anyhow, I have created a school social story (click on link to view and/or print). Included are pictures to go with each scenario mentioned. This is a good tool to implement when a child is being first introduced to school, returning from summer break or a holiday, or when he/she is demonstrating anxiety related to going to school. This could help to prepare and acclimate your child.
You may want to introduce this in a fun way ... in a song, a game, a story, a chant ... keep in mind what would work for your child. Remember to build positive associations.
After introducing this, you may want to review it on a consistent basis (it can become a morning ritual). You may even want to print and laminate a copy for your child to keep with him/her.
Feel free to contact me for other ideas on how to implement this.
