Are you looking for a visual story to use with your students for cutting their nails? If so, this social narrative is a great visual support to help guide them through the process of having their nails cut. This social narrative is a great read for students who may need some support and help to understand why they need to have their nails cut, and how this might make them feel. This visual story will hopefully encourage them and help them to understand the process. Many students with autism are visual learners and like to learn through seeing something in action. This book comes complete with matching, simple yet engaging graphics to help describe what is being said on the page. Comes in col option only - no b/w availability, however you can print in grayscale. Pages included are; ♦ My fingernails grow everyday. ♦ When my fingernails get too long, I need to have them cut. ♦ If my fingernails are too long, they might snap or scratch me or someone else. ♦ My family will help me cut my nails. ♦ My teacher will help me cut my nails. ♦ I should sit really still when I’m having my nails cut. ♦ Sometimes, I might get scared of the nail clippers. This is ok. ♦ My family will be happy when my nails are cut. ♦ My teacher will be happy when my nails are cut. ♦ When my nails are cut, they won’t be as sharp. ♦ Once my nails are cut, I can go back to playing. ★ If you are looking for a social narrative that is personalized for your needs, check out my custom social narratives resource here. ★ Click below to find: • Social Narratives • Life Skills Activities • Autism Classroom Resources ==================================================================================================== Once you have purchased this resource don't forget to come back and leave feedback to help you gain some TpT credits!

Over the next five days, I will post about 5 different, important teaching strategies to help an autism classroom run smoothly. 1. Visuals/Minimize Talking 2. Organization 3. Flexibility 4. Schedules 5. Behavior Management Tools Today I will start with Visuals/Minimize Talking One of the key components of an autism diagnosis is that students have qualitative impairments in communication (the ability to talk and understand spoken language). Using visuals instead of (or in conjunction with) giving directions verbally can be helpful in addressing these deficits. In my classroom, the visuals we use most often are posted on the wall or on my students' desks. We also have worn lanyards around our necks with a key ring full of the most common visuals we use. When creating my visuals, I try and focus on what students "should do" not what students "should NOT do". For instance, instead of saying "no running," I use a visual that says "walk." Telling students with autism "not to" do something, still doesn't specify the correct behavior they should be engaging in. I also try to make sure that I have a visual with some sort of praise on it (either a picture of thumbs up or a happy face) to show kids when they were being good. The visuals we use most often are: Obviously we all know it is impossible to use only visuals as a means to communicate with our students. We also know that our students need to learn how to understand spoken language as well as visuals. So when you do need to talk to your students, use phrases that are clear, concise, and to the point. For instance, if you want a student to throw something away for you, you SHOULD NOT say "Hey Johnny, could you go over there and throw this in the garbage for me." Instead, you SHOULD say something like "garbage" or "throw away." You can also help students develop the skills necessary to follow spoken directions by creating programs where you repeatedly practice direction following in a one-on-one setting. For starters, make sure the student is physically capable of doing the action. Some good one-step directions to begin with are those you use most often during the day such as "stand up" "sit down" "clap hands" "give me" "throw ball" "touch nose," etc. Be careful that you aren't giving any cues to the student when working on spoken direction following. It is so easy to tell a student "touch nose" and start doing the action yourself (I totally catch my self doing this from time to time!). This is teaching a child to imitate your actions, not to follow your directions. (It is fine to use this for your first couple session as a prompt…just make sure to fade it out as soon as possible. A more appropriate prompt might be to help the student physically engage in the direction themselves using physical prompts…but these must also be faded out as soon as possible). Once your student can consistently follow your one-step spoken directions, you can up the ante to two-step direction. (I.e. "Touch nose, then jump," "Stand up, then clap hands," etc).
