Going on Holiday with 1 Parent Social Story

Description

This social story is a great read for students who may need some support and help when going on holiday with one parent. The social story comes in 2 options; Going on Holiday with Mum or Going on Holiday with Dad. Both stories encourage readers to go on holiday and how they can remain in touch with their other parent while they are away and how the parent will feel.

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;
Going on holiday with mum
♦ I am very lucky to be going on holiday.
♦ Going on holiday is lots of fun and gives us a chance to experience new places.
♦ This time, I am going on holiday with just my mum.
♦ This is ok. Me and mum are going to have lots of fun together.
♦ Mum will help me pack my case and make sure I take everything I need.
♦ Dad will miss us but he is happy we are going on holiday.
♦ I can still phone my dad everyday or talk to him online.
♦ Dad will get very excited seeing photos of what I am doing everyday.
♦ I might miss my dad but I will see him really soon.
♦ I should be good for my mum on holiday or my mum will be sad.

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.
