Personal Space Social Story contains material specifically designed for students with special learning needs, especially autism. This social story addresses what personal space refers to in a simplified but rigorous way for students with diverse learning needs to make meaningful and authentic connections to the material. There are 3 versions of the story included to reach more learning levels in your classroom. One has photos and one uses common picture symbols.

★★★I recently added a second story with photos of high school age kids for your older students.★★★

I have also added a sorting activity that includes photos and picture symbols as well. There are some large cards depicting various scenarios for a whole group activity. Finally, I have added a writing prompt to this unit.

See the preview for a more detailed 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.
