Walking in Line Social Story Kit

Help children with autism and other special needs understand the expectations and routines for walking in line at school and in the community. This social story kit provides clear, simple language and visual supports to help children learn what to do when walking with their class or group. Walking in line can be challenging for children who have difficulty staying with a group, maintaining personal space, following directions, or knowing what to do while waiting and moving from one place to another. This kit teaches children how to safely walk with their class, stay in line, keep an appropriate distance from others, and follow their teacher’s directions. The Walking in Line Social Story Kit can be used before transitions, during classroom routines, or whenever a child needs extra preparation and practice with walking in line.
