Sarah’s mum and dad have autism and were very focused on keeping their children, including Sarah, safe.

 

This was taken to its extreme and as a result, was making Sarah anxious to the extent that she couldn’t interact at school and she struggled to go to new places.

 

Sarah and her family were supported in a range of creative ways including storytelling, game playing and planning visits to new places.

 

This reduced the worry of the whole family, including Sarah. Her reduced anxiety enabled her to take part in ‘show and tell’ for the first time at school and to go to new places.
