Helping children understand Covid-19 through social stories

There is an amazing SLP, Tara Tuchel, that created a number of social stories regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. As Tara explains “As humans, we all thrive on routine.  Children's (and adults) routines have been disrupted over these past several months.  Stories can help ALL children understand what is going on around them.  Information about their new routines can reduce anxiety and fear.  This will lead to smoother transitions into the new routine.” The attached link will allow you to open a social story for topics that include wearing a mask, what is social distancing, getting my temperature taken and more. There are 21 total stories in total so if you are needing to add some tools to your toolbox about COVID-19, these social stories are going to be really useful!
