The book collects 40 short social stories written with the symbols of Augmentative Alternative Communication (AAC) which clearly and simply describe situations, routines, behaviours, skills and emotions identified as among the most frequent in children aged 3- 4 years and up (the age at which you begin to develop autonomy and the ability to choose and manage emotions).

The series
Social stories are texts that clearly and concisely describe a situation, skill, outcome, or concept, with the goal of helping people better understand the situations and events they encounter in their daily lives. Each story provides information on what is happening and why, suggesting the correct behaviors to implement.
The texts in the Social Stories with AAC series are written using the symbols of Augmentative Alternative Communication (AAC) with the aim of supporting the linguistic, communicative and social understanding of children (not only those with complex communication needs) through the use of graphic symbols. From personal autonomy to the management of emotions, from interactions with others to creative expression, social stories describe the big and small adventures of everyday life.
These stories can be integrated into various contexts: at home, at school, with family members or with other children. Furthermore, they are also useful tools in rehabilitation centers because they help promote communication and social integration for anyone who needs it.
The stories written with the AAC symbols are accompanied by colorful illustrations. Here is an example from the volume Let's learn to brush our teeth with Giulia:
