This social story is designed to help children, especially those with ASD or other diagnoses, navigate and manage transitions throughout the day.

Ideal for parents, teachers, and caregivers, this story equips children with the tools to approach transitions calmly and confidently, supporting them in adapting to their daily routines.
What’s Inside?
Along with a 13-page social story, there’s also a shorter, adapted version with movable pictures to help engage children on each page.
Why Is This Social Story Helpful?
Social stories use a gentle and reassuring tone to teach children about social situations in a way that’s easy to understand. They are particularly useful for:
• Children who struggle to grasp social concepts.
• Learning social skills, social cues, and appropriate responses.
• Providing guidance on expectations, emotions, and problem-solving.
• Supporting autistic children who may find social interactions challenging and benefit from clear, structured explanations.
How to Use This Story Effectively
• Create a focused environment – Read the story in a quiet space with minimal distractions.
• Read it regularly – Start by reading it twice, then revisit it often to reinforce learning.
• Incorporate it into daily routines – Use the story as part of a structured schedule.
• Use it when needed – If the child struggles with apologising, read the story at relevant moments (without making it feel like a punishment).
• Encourage and praise – Keep the experience positive, reinforcing good behavior with encouragement.
Durability & Reusability
For long-term use, consider laminating and binding the pages or placing them in a display book. This allows for repeated reading and reinforcement, making the lesson more effective over time.
