G.A.P. Toolkits

These courses were created in response to the needs of parents of children with Autism. As a Family Autism Coach, and former educator for 28 years, I am asked over and over again about talking with doctors, registering/communicating with the school, getting children prepared for school, how to keep it all organized, toileting and writing social stories.

 

Questions around these specific topics lead to livestreams, which lead to webinars, which lead to the creation of these Toolkits.

These toolkits offer:

For parents who want to address one thing at a time, on your own time and at your own pace…these are for you.

I’m here for you, however you need me:

Reach out if you need more support.

Sincerely,
Erin

Writing Social Stories for Children with Autism

Purchase Now

Welcome to this Toolkit about how to write Social Stories. This is an AMAZING resource that you can create over and over for your child. Many of my clients have a library of social stories that is their “go-to” resource when they need to communicate that something different is going to happen.

There’s a recipe for building a social story and once you know it you can use it over and over.

Social Stories are a great way for children with Autism to “practice” new things before they have to try them for real. Does your child need to start riding a bus to school? Going to their first birthday party? Sleeping over at Grandma‘s? Getting a haircut? There are so many great reasons to write a social story.
