Description
Say No Appropriately teaches clear refusal, self-advocacy, and personal boundaries using respectful scenarios for preteens and teens. Learners practice saying No or Stop, declining an invitation without insults, using AAC or gestures, moving toward a safe helper, reporting ignored boundaries, and changing their mind after an earlier yes. Includes 54 sequential Boom Cards: 18 instructional cards, 12 multiple-choice questions, 6 true-or-false questions, and 18 three-picture questions. Individually selectable picture answers give immediate feedback. Speech is not required to communicate a valid refusal; the lesson recognizes AAC, cards, gestures, writing, and other reliable methods. Supports Life Skills, Special Education, Autism instruction, functional communication, consent and boundary awareness, social skills, and transition learning. Diverse age-respectful cartoon artwork supports classroom, small-group, and individual practice. Original artwork created using OpenAI’s built-in image generator and reviewed for lesson alignment.
