Making Good Choices Social Story & Activities EDITABLE

Making Good Choices unit contains material specifically designed for students with special learning needs, especially autism, but would also be very appropriate for K-1 students in a regular education setting.

This social story addresses making the best choice when alone in a simplified but rigorous way for students with diverse learning needs to make meaningful and authentic connections to the material.

There are 2 versions of the story included to fit more learning levels that may be in your class. One version of the story uses photos of students of various ages.

The other version is a BW booklet using simple clip art. The activities are great for an informal assessment and a way to further reinforce the content.

See preview for a better look at the contents.

Teaching students appropriate behavior and response/reactions to various situations is a challenge we face as special education teachers. This is why I feel it is so critical to teach these skills in a safe, non-stressful situation, NOT while the behavior is occurring. If you target and protect instructional time to teach these social skills, you are more likely to see them transfer to naturally occurring settings. I know there never seems to be enough time to teach what you need to in a school day, but you will not be sorry if you put time aside every day to work on building better social skills in a thoughtful and structured manner. My hope is that these social stories and related activities will make that task a little easier for you.
