School picture day can be a whirlwind of emotions and new experiences, especially for children with autism. This Picture Day social story is here to help transform it into an exciting, manageable, and joyful occasion.
Our social story is crafted to help children understand what to expect on picture day, reducing anxiety and promoting confidence. It breaks down the picture day process into manageable steps, from picking out an outfit, going to class, schedule change, and waiting for your turn to smiling for the camera.
It is filled with colorful illustrations and clear explanations to familiarize them with the picture-day process, which will help reduce anxiety and help children approach picture-day with excitement rather than fear, boosting their self-esteem.
We have also included 18 picture cards that can be used as visual cues during the picture day process.
This story can be read with a parent, teacher, or caregiver to help prepare for Picture Day. Reading it several times before the actual day can help them feel more comfortable and excited about Picture Day!
Our Picture Day social story book is 8 1/2 x 11 with 15 pages + 18 picture cards (3 1/4 x 3 1/4) both with editable text.
We recommend you print this book on heavy card stock and use thick lamination then bind the pages together with coil, comb binding, or rings. You could also slip the pages into sheet protectors and insert them into a notebook.
We have included a ZIP file with a PDF and PowerPoint version along with a Microsoft Word document. Please make sure you have one of these programs if you want to edit the text.
