The Gesher Assessment Centre’s resource list

At the Gesher Assessment Centre we give parents/carers a social story that they can talk through with their child before the assessment. This is designed to help the child feel more at ease before their assessment, and to help them understand more about what happens on the day. It includes as much detail as possible such as pictures of the actual assessment room, who they are likely to meet on the day and time guidelines of how long each part of the assessment may take. Parents/carers also haves an option to provide more detail by including their own pictures at the end relating to of what they will do after the assessment.
