need SOCIAL STORIES w/ PICS Go to http://www.storyboardcompany.com/  I think this company has great products! Here's one specifically that is about riding horses, but it doesn't have the helmet issue in it... you can probably cut and paste one together using photographs of riders in helmets - just customize to your use. http://www.mhkc.org/media/doc1/Autism%20Social%20Stories/RID ING%20HORSES%20AT%20CAMP.PDF Also, do a search on the boards - NorwayMom is our resource guru and I know she's posted many of her social story resources in past threads. ETA:  I do social stories using powerpoint, then laminate and turn into a book.  If you need some help customizing one, just PM me, and I'll be happy to help create one you can print and laminate for yourself. AnamCara39553.3690277778about THERAPUTIC RIDING!!!! DS has his eval next week. They just called me back- finally- and told me they only have 1 opening for summer program. He has seen a horse at school and he loved it !! He pet it and was jumping around saying horse! horse! So I know he wont be afraid of it. The only problem is, he will have to wear a helmet, and I dont think he will like that AT ALL. I dont want him to freak out, and have it ruin him time. Anyone have any social storries or even book suggestions?? He is VERY visual. He loves books. Me verbally telling him will probably do no good.  He is 4 and just starting to be verbal. Thanks!!! Heidi
