Brushing my Hair Social Story

Description

This social story is a great read for students who may need some support with brushing their hair. A lot of children struggle with brushing their hair, it may cause them anxiety and they may not even understand why they are doing it. Hopefully, this social story will help encourage your child(ren)/students to brush their hair, and also help promote independence.

Many students with autism are visual learners and like to learn through seeing something in action. This book comes complete with matching, simple yet engaging graphics to help describe what is being said on the page.

Comes in col option only – no b/w availability, however you can print in grayscale.

Pages included are;
♦ Sometimes my hair gets messy.
♦ When I sleep, my hair may get tangled.
♦ After I wash my hair, it may become tangled.
♦ I need to brush my hair to make it tidy.
♦ I can use a comb to brush my hair.
♦ I can use a brush to brush my hair.
♦ I can brush my hair myself or have someone help me.
♦ Brushing my hair may hurt or feel uncomfortable.
♦ I can take a break brushing my hair if I need one.
♦ When my hair is brushed it looks clean.
♦ Everyone will be happy that I have brushed my hair.
♦ I can brush my dolls hair.
♦ I can wear my hair down.
♦ Or I can put it in a ponytail.
♦ Or I can wear a hairband.

I recommend printing out each of the individual pages, laminating them and then binding them into a book so it will be easier for students to read – or be read to, as well as being stronger and longer lasting. You can use only the pages that you feel most relevant.
