Product description

From the author

Preview a school-lunch routine with a twelve-page first-person social story. The sequence covers lining up, getting food on a tray, finding a seat, using utensils, eating, drinking water and clearing away.

Read relevant pages before lunch and discuss how the sequence compares with the child’s actual routine. The creator suggests using a display book or laminating and binding the pages for repeated use.
