<p>This social story is designed to help explain a little about being visually impaired or blind to a child with a friend who is visually impaired.</p> <p>The point of a social story is to use a patient and reassuring tone to teach children about social situations in a way that can be easily understood. Social stories can be useful for any child who is struggling to understand a situation or concept or needs help to understand a social skill or social cue, expectations, perspectives, common responses or is troubled about an upcoming event but social stories are particularly useful for children on the autistic spectrum for whom social cues can be challenging and who often suffer anxiety if they do not know what to expect from a situation.</p> <p>These books should be used over and over to reinforce the point so I would suggest either putting the pages into a display book or laminating and binding them.</p> <p>Clipart images courtesy of<br /> Kari Bolt Children’s Illustrator, Chirp Graphics and Educlips</p>

<p>I have created these templates for a higher-tier student who requires 36 bold font size (the maximum for GCSE).<br /> The A4 templates work for the majority of questions including straight line graphs, equations of circles and vectors and so I’ve hardly needed the A3 versions.
