Interactive Book: Going to the Doctor Social Story

Description

Use this interactive book, social stories, routines, and language activities to prepare for the doctor. Discuss life skills such as body health and hand washing in speech therapy. These social stories and interactive book activities make the perfect addition to your life skills special education plans!
