Going on an Aeroplane Social Story

This social story helps kids get ready for flying on an aeroplane. It explains each step, from getting to the airport to landing at their destination, so kids know what to expect.
 
The story helps children feel calm and confident about aeroplane travel, making it less scary and stressful. It’s great for parents or caregivers to read with kids before their first flight.
 
What’s Inside?
Along with a 28-page social story, there’s also a shorter, adapted version with movable pictures to help engage children on each page.
 
Why Use This Social Story?
Social stories explain situations in simple, calm ways that are easy for kids to understand. They help children learn about social skills, expectations, and everyday situations. Social stories are especially helpful for kids on the autism spectrum or those who feel anxious when they don’t know what to expect.
 
How to Use This Story:
Read it with your child in a quiet setting where you can focus together.
Start by reading it twice with your child, then go over it regularly to reinforce the ideas.
Try to include the story in your child’s daily routine.
If the story is about changing a behaviour, read it when the behaviour happens (but not as a punishment).
Give lots of praise and keep the experience positive.
 
To make the story last, you might consider putting it in a display book or laminating the pages for regular use.
