Customizable social stories - sign up for free to receive one sample story and newsletters via email. The stories cost about $9 each but are available for a year and you can access them again for friends. You may want to go in with a couple of other parents and each purchase a different one.
These stories have been written by the staff of the Flemington-Raritan Autism Program. They can be printed out and/or adapted for use at home or in the community.
