- A Social Story Starter: Discuss each visual that is appropriate for your child or write a mini-book and glue in the visuals.
- Pretend Play: Assign a role, i.e., Child, Nurse, Doctor, Parent, to a stuffed animal/doll/child and use the other visuals to prompt story starters.
- Role-Play: Set up a visual schedule on the menu page and take turns being the child in the story.
