Back to School Resources

Hello all!

As we go through another season, the end of summer is fast approaching. With that in mind, it is time to start thinking about going back to school. The blog resources that have been created for you  most recently are intended to help both you and your families transition back into "school life." Included in the resources for this time period are a couple of different items to help you and your family with the transition. There are two versions of "Back to School" social stories. The second version is intended for our kiddos who do best with less verbal information. You will find the same for "Things I Need to Know." This resource were created to help your child put structure into thinking about getting ready to go back to school. The last resource you will find is a social story reminding students about how to ride the bus appropriately. As we head into another school year, we wish you a happy & healthy transition and 2014-2015 year!
