A break from school is a change in routine that may be difficult for students with autism to understand and deal with. A social story provides a simple and reassuring way to explain this change. The text is supported by pictures, making it easier for a child with autism to understand. Reading a social story with a child with autism before an upcoming event helps reduce anxiety and let the child know what to expect.
