Strangers Social Story, Stranger Awareness

Description

This social story is a great read for students who may need some support with understanding what a stranger is, who are safe strangers (community helpers) and what they could do if they are approached by a stranger.

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;
♦ A stranger is someone that I do not know.
♦ A stranger can be a man or a woman.
♦ They can be young or old.
♦ I should stay close to my family or friends when I am out.
♦ I shouldn’t talk to a stranger without my family’s permission.
♦ I won’t take anything off a stranger.
♦ I won’t go anywhere with a stranger.
♦ I should not get into a car with a stranger.
♦ I do not know the stranger or if they are good or bad.
♦ A stranger may be nice to me at first.
♦ But they might actually be very mean.
♦ Strangers could be very dangerous!
♦ If a stranger tries to talk to me I can call for help.
♦ It is ok to scream for help if a stranger comes near me.
♦ If i’m lost in a store I can run and try to find a staff member to help me.
♦ I can tell my family and they will help me.
♦ There are safe strangers, like the police.
♦ Sometimes strangers are ok, like doctors in a hospital.
♦ Firefighters are strangers but they will help us if there’s a fire.
♦ Safe strangers usually wear a uniform like police, fire fighters, dentist and doctors.
♦ If I see a stranger, I must check with my family if I can say hello.

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.
