The story focuses on why its important to take care of your device and specific rules for properly caring for and handling a device.

This app teaches children in a simple and positive way how to care for their device to ensure that it is not lost or stolen.

Social stories are easy to implement and are used by many professionals for a wide range of behaviors and skills.
