Social situations

Social situations with family, friends or strangers can be a great cause of anxiety, particularly for many individuals on the autistic spectrum.

Help your child to prepare for and manage new or different social situations by using a TomTag prompt which provides visual cues to tell them what you would like them to do in relation to social rules in a positive way.

Create TomTag prompts and reminders to help children to understand and remember positive social rules.
