A step-by-step dental story, a sheet for the dental team, and a home practice plan.
For: Parents, autistic adults, dental teams · Free to print, copy and share · No sign-up
Practise the parts at home first — chair, light, mirror, counting teeth — and tell the team what to change before they start. Most dental distress comes from the light, the noise, the taste and the reclining chair, and each of those can be practised or adjusted in advance.

A printed sheet is fixed. It can't change when the routine changes, it doesn't know the person using it, and it can't put anything in writing for a school or clinic.
Nova can write the visit story in your child's own words and talk through what to ask the dental team for.
Nova is a support companion for autistic people, families and the professionals who help them. Every printed sheet carries a scannable code and this short link: portal.novaautism.com/s/dental-visit-kit
Prepare with Nova Get the PDFBlank picture-and-word boxes for a morning, school, or bedtime routine.
Two big boxes: what happens first, what happens after. The simplest transition support there is.
Work through each sense and mark what soothes, what overwhelms, and what's still unclear.
A blank, first-person story frame for a new place, a change, or something that keeps going wrong.
This sheet is a practical support, not medical, legal, or diagnostic advice.
