Taking a Break
INCREASE POSITIVE BEHAVIORS AND COMPLIANCE BY GIVING YOUR CHILD OR STUDENT WITH AUTISM A BREAK!
Perfect for kids with autism or sensory processing challenges, this story encourages self-regulation, emotional awareness, and positive coping strategies. This calming social narrative teaches children the importance of taking a break when they feel overwhelmed or frustrated. Like a social story, this social narrative uses simple language and visual support to explain when and how to take a break, what a break might look like, and how it helps them feel better. There is a bonus celebratory social narrative that can be read after the child takes a break. Both the social narrative and bonus celebratory social narrative have extra pages that can be removed or added to make the story relevant in the school and home environments. Having the option of having two social narratives creates consistency between home and school.
