Community Lessons
This year for our middle school and upper elementary students, we are working on safety and how to act out in our community. We plan on making trips to the fire station, police station, the Santa train, the bank, the library, a dentist office, and also going to a doctor's office.
Social Stories
Social Stories are short stories written or tailored to an autistic individual to help them understand and behave appropriately in social situations. Here at Brookwood, Mrs. Buschel will make individual social stories for the students. You may see some of these come home. If you ever need help dealing with a difficult situation please let one of the team members know and we can use tools like a social stories to help your child understand what is happening.
