Welcome to North Star - A social story

Visiting a new space can be difficult. North Star has created a visual called a social story to introduce our office, staff, and therapists. A social story is a visual that introduces new concepts through simple language and pictures. We hope that going through this social story before your first speech-language therapy or occupational therapy appointment at North Star can help make the appointment easier.

North Star has created a social story to introduce new clients to our office and our staff. The social story can be used to help prepare new clients for their first visit to North Star.
