Social Stories

Social stories are short, illustrated narratives designed to teach children and adults (including neurodiverse students), how to navigate social situations, understand behavioural expectations, and reduce anxiety. At Rollins, we are keen to use social stories to help our students prepare for upcoming events and changes in their usual schedule. Last week a social story about the grade 3-6 athletics was sent to families via Compass. The story was also read in classes so students could prepare for the event.

Keep an eye out for social stories on Compass! The grade 1-2 swimming is coming up so a social story will be sent home in the week prior to this.
