Social Stories are so amazing at teaching social skills! Social Stories are perfect for reinforcing appropriate social skills in regular education students, students with autism, and students with ADHD. All of my social stories are written in “kid friendly language” and stories that I have personally used in my own classroom. The great thing about Social Stories is that you can use them in so many ways and I have included some suggestions on how to use them. I have included a page that talks about why you should use social stories in your classroom. I Can get Calm When I am Upset (A Social Story on how to stay calm when you get upset) is a story that can help students use calming strategies when they need them. This story talks about a student getting frustrated at school or at home and the student asks for a cool down break. This story goes through all the ways a student can stay calm in detail. The strategies talked about in this story are taking deep breathes, counting to 10, using fidgets, using exercise, and taking a walk. I have included an activity at the end of the product to promote a conversation about what strategies works well for each student. This will help teachers and parents know what to do when the student is upset and plus it is important to know ahead of time which strategies help that student when he/she is in crisis for the student as well. Each student is different and not all strategies work on everyone.
