social stories

Spring Common Academy produces a wide variety of social stories for individual pupils on a range of themes such as:

• Visiting the doctor/dentist/hairdressers
• Moving home
• Travelling to school
• Going on holiday
• Bedtime/morning routines
• Trips to new places
• Personal hygiene
• Puberty
• Touching others/Personal space

For social stories to be effective, they must be tailored to the individual, use language they are familiar with and incorporate details from the young person's unique set of circumstances.  They can help pupils to navigate social situations, become more open to new experiences and build positive routines. Spring Common are happy to adapt and/or create an appropriate social story in collaboration with you for your child. 

Please contact your child's class teacher in the first instance and they will be happy to help.
