Description
Taking Turns: Adapted Social Story Teach and reinforce positive social skills with this engaging Taking Turns Adapted Social Story! Designed for students with autism, developmental disabilities, speech and language delays, AAC users, and emerging readers, this resource helps students learn how and why we take turns at school. Using simple, repetitive sentences, clear visuals, and interactive picture symbols, students learn that sometimes they get a turn and sometimes someone else goes first. Students practice waiting while others use preferred toys, activities, classroom materials, playground equipment, and shared spaces. They also learn strategies that can make waiting easier, such as using a timer, asking for help, or choosing something else while they wait. The predictable format supports comprehension, social skills, self-regulation, patience, functional communication, and positive peer interactions while helping students understand that everyone gets a turn. This resource is perfect for: Special Education classrooms Autism support programs Developmental Disabilities programs Speech and language intervention AAC and core vocabulary instruction Life skills and social skills lessons Behaviour and self-regulation support Teaching positive school behaviour Students will build turn-taking skills, patience, self-regulation, functional communication, social awareness, and positive peer interactions while learning how to wait, share, and take turns with others.
