No Hitting: Adapted Interactive Social Story Teach students to use safe hands and positive strategies when they feel frustrated with this engaging No Hitting Adapted Social Story! This interactive Boom Cards™ social story helps students understand that hitting can hurt others and teaches simple, appropriate alternatives they can use when they are upset. Designed especially for students with autism, developmental disabilities, speech and language delays, AAC users, and emerging readers, each page uses simple language, clear visuals, and familiar school-based situations to support comprehension, self-regulation, and functional communication. Students learn that sometimes they may feel angry, frustrated, or overwhelmed, but hitting is not a safe choice. The story introduces positive alternatives, including keeping hands together, taking deep breaths, asking a teacher for help, and using a calm-down space. Students also learn that once their body is calm, they can safely return to their classroom activities. The predictable format helps students understand that big feelings are okay, but hands need to stay safe while building emotional regulation, functional communication, problem-solving skills, and positive interactions with others. This resource is perfect for: Special Education classrooms Autism support programs Developmental Disabilities programs AAC and functional communication instruction Social skills lessons Behaviour and self-regulation support Teaching safe hands
