DAC Theater Social Story
A social story is a tool that helps individuals plan for a positive experience during an event or situation that may be unfamiliar to them. Social stories help individuals know what to expect by guiding them through the experience. They are often used by individuals on the autism spectrum. The Dougherty Arts Center’s Theater Social Story explains the general activities and situations an individual may experience when attending a performance in the theater. For more information about a specific performance, individuals may call 512-974-4045 or email DACTheater@austintexas.gov
