This is a social story meant to help children cope in healthy ways when things (e.g., their surroundings) get too loud! Sometimes our students become anxious and overwhelmed when faced with too much noise, whether it be due to people or things.

This social story guides the student through normalizing these experiences, and then providing some simple strategies to cope and calm down in healthy ways. It is in PDF format (8.5" x 11"), and is presented in a simple, fun and visual format. This social story can be easily printed and laminated, and can be used across all ages and developmental levels.

It also touches on the various beliefs around death, including the afterlife. It goes on to normalize these feelings and emphasize that the grief process is healthy and we can do this on our own time, and with the support of family and others who care for us.
