Being Safe at School Social Story Kit

Help children with autism and other special needs learn important school safety skills with this Being Safe at School Social Story Kit. This kit focuses on two common school safety challenges: staying in the classroom and staying near the teacher during hallway transitions. The social story uses simple, child-friendly language to explain why it is important to stay in the classroom when expected and to walk safely near the teacher when moving through the school. The goal is to help children understand school safety expectations and give them practical strategies they can use throughout the school day.

This resource can be especially helpful for children who may leave the classroom, wander, run ahead in the hallway, have difficulty staying with their class, or need reminders about staying close to an adult during transitions.
