Episode #2: Social Stories: Demands vs Good Explanations
We're here to help you turn everyday things into easy, practical ways to impact your child. We hope you found ways to talk about Sensory Diets and Social Stories after last month's podcast!
My discussion with Lynn about Social Stories and Sensory Diets was so impactful, we are taking it even deeper this Friday. You don't want to miss our next conversation on The Ability Bridge Podcast.

A Sensory Diet is a powerful tool to help children identify, on a scale, what external stimuli affect them and at what level. Are we helping our children avoid circumstances that cause excess anxiety and helping them cope with their sensory diet?
The Social Stories framework stresses the danger of forcing blind compliance to a task or action. This can leave a child vulnerable to being taken advantage of. Instead, Lynn shared ways to rephrase requests in clearer ways that lead to greater understanding and choice.
Both frameworks were incredibly simple and eye-opening!
