Social Stories & Visual Supports for Healthcare Experiences
Children often have limited knowledge about what happens when they come to the hospital or clinic for a medical visit. Since every child's visit will be unique, we use visual supports to explain specific scenarios your child may experience. These social stories, online tours, and visual supports use simple language and pictures to show what happens on medical visits. The supports can be used before and during a visit to help everyone feel less anxious and more secure.
Questions About Your Visit?
- For questions about your child's test please call your child's care provider.
