Social Scripts help organisations engage people with communication disability in programs and events. Originally developed for autistic people, Social Scripts (also known as social stories) are a widely used disability inclusion tool in Australia, helping people understand what to expect before a program, event, or new experience through clear, inclusive, and respectful language.
