Going to the Dentist: Social Narrative & Visual Support Pack
Dentist visits can include a lot at once: waiting, bright lights, unfamiliar sounds, new people, strong tastes or smells, a moving chair, and touch near the mouth. **Going to the Dentist: Social Narrative & Visual Support Pack** is a printable PDF resource designed to help adults prepare autistic and neurodivergent children for a dentist visit in a respectful, sensory-aware way. This support pack helps make the experience more predictable by previewing common steps, naming possible sensory experiences, and giving the learner communication choices such as help, break, more time, too loud, too bright, and all done. This resource is for parents, teachers, paraprofessionals, therapists, caregivers, and support staff who want practical preparation materials without using compliance-based language or promises of guaranteed outcomes. Use it before a dental appointment, during preparation at home or school, or as part of a learner's support plan for community and health-related routines. - Cover page - Adult how-to-use guide - 10-page dentist visit social narrative - Dentist visit visual sequence - Communication choice cards - Sensory supports page - Feelings and body signals check-in - My Dentist Visit Plan page - Thank You & Terms of Use page - Printable 18-page PDF format This product is for educational and preparation purposes only.
