When a specialist visits
Primary story
About the resource
This story has been designed to help children know what to expect and learn positive ways to respond when they are working with a specialist (e.g. OT, psychologist) at school. As a teacher, parent/carer or specialist you can help a child by reading through the story. You could point out how the child’s experience may be different and similar to that in the story and come up with other positive ways to respond.
Audio version
This story is available as an audio story for children. This may be particularly helpful for children who are blind or low vision.
‘Add your own image’ version
Some students, including some students with autism or intellectual disability, may find it easier to relate to a story when it contains pictures from their own environment. This ‘add your own images’ story allows you to add photos from school (e.g. the child’s teacher, specialist, or classroom) before printing.
