A Social Story About Going to a B'nei Mitzvah

jkidaccess staff

jkidaccess is an initiative of Jewish Learning Venture that provides resources and support for families raising Jewish children with disabilities. Though our work focuses on families and educators in the Greater Philadelphia area, we’ve created a website full of free resources that anyone can download and use!

A social narrative is a learning tool for children with autism and other cognitive disabilities that depicts a social situation that your child may encounter. Our jkidACCESS social stories focus on Jewish culture. They are created in Powerpoint so that you can download and personalize them with your child’s photos.

We have created a new social story to help children prepare for attending a B’nei Mitzvah service. Reading this tool will help a child learn about what a B’nei Mitzvah is, where it takes place, what to wear to a service and how to ask for a break during the service if needed.
