About Social Stories

A social story can be utilized to prepare a child or teen for an upcoming medical visit or procedure. Reviewing what to expect and practicing through medical play can help to decrease anxiety and fear surrounding the visit. It also increases the likelihood of completing the visit successfully. Please review our social story library in advance of your visit. If you do not see a social story that meets your child’s needs or would like more information on how to prepare for the visit.
