• ✂️ PREPARES CHILDREN FOR AN UNFAMILIAR EXPERIENCE - Turns a haircut, one of the most common sensory and anxiety triggers for children with autism, into a predictable sequence they can see and understand before they ever sit in the chair.
• 😌 REDUCES ANXIETY BEFORE AND DURING THE VISIT - Clear step-by-step visual symbols explain exactly what will happen, from walking in to sitting down to the sound of scissors or clippers, so there are fewer surprises to trigger distress.
• 🗣️ SUPPORTS NONVERBAL & SPEECH-DELAYED CHILDREN - Gives children who cannot easily ask "what happens next?" a visual answer they can check themselves, without needing to process or respond to spoken explanations mid-appointment.
• 👨👩👧 A SOCIAL STORY PARENTS CAN USE AT HOME FIRST - Works best introduced before the appointment, so children can look through the sequence calmly at home and arrive at the barber already familiar with what to expect.
• 🎒 POCKET-SIZED FOR THE APPOINTMENT ITSELF - At 125mm tall and 45mm wide, it travels easily in a pocket or bag, so the same visual reference is available in the waiting area and in the chair, not just at home beforehand.
• 🛡️ DOUBLE-LAMINATED CARD BUILT TO LAST - Sturdy laminated card construction withstands repeated handling at home, in therapy sessions, or in the classroom, wiping clean easily after use.
• 🔗 PART OF THE PLAY DOCTORS ROUTINES & TRANSITIONS RANGE - Sits alongside other Play Doctors visual routine fans, giving families a consistent approach to preparing children for new experiences and everyday transitions.
