Canberra Social Story (FULL VERSION)
This year was my first year taking a student diagnosed with ASD to camp. There were lots of things to consider and I was surprised by the limited resources out there to support ASD children on camp. Many students in NSW travel to Canberra for an overnight excursion and I have created this resource to support those students. Printing this as a book and reading it every day before camp decreased the anxiety immensely. Please use this resource in any way you wish.
