🤖Conversation about Eli
Eli had a really hard time at the dentist today. Any tips for next time?
I'm sorry today was tough — dentist visits can be really overwhelming. Here are a few steps that might help next time: 1. **Prepare with a social story**: We have a 'Preparing for a Dentist Visit' programme with a visual story you can practise at home. 2. **Sensory preparation**: If Eli is sensitive to bright lights, ask the dentist if they can dim the overhead light. Some surgeries also allow wearing sunglasses. 3. **Communication**: Practice the 'stop' signal — raising a hand when he needs a break. 4. **Aftercare**: Plan a calming activity afterwards, no matter how the visit went. Would you like me to help you create a personalised social story for the next visit?
Yes, a social story would be great. He loves trains — could we use that?
Absolutely! We can create a train-themed social story where Eli is the 'brave engine' going to the 'dentist station' for a check-up. I'll guide you through our resource generator to personalise it with train illustrations and his specific calming strategies.
