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!
Utilize the interactive book and accompanying activities to incorporate life skills, social stories, and language into your classes.
