What you’ll need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To create your own social story, you will need to create a FREE account for Canva<\/a> – an online piece of software or app that can be used on any phone, tablet or computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll need a device to access the internet to take part in workshop activities, and to get the most out of this session, joining the call on a second device such as a smart phone, tablet or computer would really help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n<a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.familyfund.org.uk\/support\/discover-digital\/workshops\/\">\n Sign up for a workshop\n <\/a>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"are-you-a-professional-rather-than-parent-or-carer\">Are you a professional rather than parent or carer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst our resources have been created with parents and carers in mind, we welcome everyone to use these videos if they can help you in the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you’d like to discuss further any way that Family Fund could support you in the workplace, get in touch with our friendly team on: <a href=\"mailto:digitalskills@familyfund.org.uk\">digitalskills@familyfund.org.uk<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Family Fund will help you learn how to create a simple visual tool to help a young persons understanding and help them feel more comfortable with new situations and places.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":20572,"parent":21224,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"tpl-learning-zone.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_oasis_is_in_workflow":0,"_oasis_original":0,"_oasis_task_priority":"","_mixd_wp_review_post_reminders":[],"_mixd_wp_review_date":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-20831","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n<title>Create a social story -
