I created the Social Story: I Am Unique & Special with the purpose of teaching and showing children that they (as well as everyone they meet) are different and unique in many ways, and this makes us all special!

They way we TALK (e.g., fast, loud, slow, quiet, etc.) c. They way we MOVE (e.g., fast, slow, fidgety, etc.) d. The way we ACT (e.g., excited, hyper, shy, etc.) e. The way we FEEL (e.g., happy, mad, sad, worried, etc.) f. Our ORIGINS: Where We Come From (e.g., country, culture, family, language, etc.) g. SKILLS and TALENTS We Have (e.g., subjects, music, art, sports, activities, etc.) h. The Ways We LEARN (e.g., visual, verbal, seeing, doing, etc.) i. The Ways We Handle STRESS (e.g., screaming, hugs, withdrawing, talking, etc.) j.
