Social story about remembering to put your hand up to speak rather than calling out. The point of a social story is to use a patient and reassuring tone to teach children about social situations in a way that can be easily understood. Social stories can be useful for any child who is struggling to understand a situation or concept or needs help to understand a social skill or social cue, expectations, perspectives, common responses or is troubled about an upcoming event but social stories are particularly useful for children on the autistic spectrum for whom social cues can be challenging and who often suffer anxiety if they do not know what to expect from a situation. These books should be used over and over to reinforce the point so I would suggest either putting the pages into a display book or laminating and binding them.

Scale for children to visually express how angry they are feeling. Why do you need this? Acknowledging and talking about anger can be a helpful way for children to deal with this emotion. Talking about their feelings in a safe environment can help children feel better about their anger and can also help them to figure out how to deal with it in a healthy way. This can also be a good way to instigate discussions about healthy coping strategies for managing anger. How and when might you use this? This anger meter can either be displayed on the wall for children to go to when they feel they need to or to be directed to by an adult or it can be laminated for them to have their own individual copy with them at their desk to pick up and use whenever it is needed. What’s included? Included are 2 different versions of the meter, one with children’s emotion faces and one with emoji faces. Print and laminate and then use a split pin to make it work.
