Social Scripts
Council, with professional assistance from Amaze Autism Victoria, has produced social scripts for some of our playgrounds . Social scripts helps people with autism, or others that may feel anxious in new places, to learn more about the reserve before they visit.
A Social Script is a short description of a situation, event or activity, which includes specific information about what to expect in that situation and why. The Social Scripts use clear everyday language and pictures to outline what you can see and do when visiting certain parks and reserves.
