Social Story for Children with Autism

"Tom goes to the Dentist" - A Social Story for Children with Autism

 

Some people with autism find it helpful to prepare for their visit to the dentist. "Tom goes to the dentist" is an example of a Social Story that can be used and adapted to help children with autism prepare for a dental visit.

 

"Tom goes to the dentist", based on the work of Dr Siobhan Doherty Principal Dental Surgeon, HSE, Dublin South West- Kildare West Wicklow Service Area, was developed by Dr Maura Haran, Senior Dental Surgeon - Special Needs and Breda McCarthy Senior Dental Nurse, Waterford Community Services.
