Going to the Doctor - Use the Going to the Doctor Social Story to help your student or child understand going to the Doctor. The Social Story features several everyday Doctor routines which will encourage your student and/or child to become more independent and confident in attending the Doctor.

The social story benefits children who may have anxieties about Doctor visits. The story is 14 pages in length.

Use a laminator to ensure the longevity of use.

Print and laminate each sheet of the Social Story, cutting down the centre line thereafter. Attach book rings to create a book format.

Sit down with your child at a time they are relaxed and engaged. Read through the story and encourage any questions they may have. For students who may not be able to read, please read the story for them and use the visual icons to help your child/student understand the different issues highlighted.

Ensure you keep your tone calm, relaxed and open to hearing/understanding any worries or anxieties your student/child may have. Use each page as a jumping-off point for other concerns your child may be feeling.
