British Sign Language stories for children
Resources for parents
Lots of information and social stories about lockdown that explain clearly what is happening, with signing and symbols
“Social stories” are a learning tool designed to explain events so that people can begin to understand, predict and come to terms with what is going on. By going through them regularly, a person is helped to process what is happening.
They are different to the stories we create about the events in our personal histories.
​
Excellent images for explaining the pandemic and all the associated procedures. What we love about these resources is that they feature people with learning disabilities themselves, active and in control of the information.
