Shell a social narrative or social story is a tool used to prepare kids to face something out of routine. They are typically used with kids who are on the autistic spectrum as they don't cope well with change but are also used to help kids cope with other social changes. It is where you write a story yourself about the situation and read it daily with the child and include all the strategies you would want them to use to help them cope. The names of the characters can be changed although they are often kept the same so it is more relayse. I have a whole bunch of info on it at school that I can scan and send but you can probably also google it and get a bunch of info too.
We use social stories and picture time lines with josh. They're a godsend!
