Autism Social Narratives: Getting Adult Attention and Waiting (Special Ed)

$5.50
Type: digital

Do you have the student who is always calling out or engaging in other behaviors to get your attention? Or perhaps it's just a student who raises his or her hand but doesn't know how to wait for you to attend?  This set of social narratives (like a social story) and visual supports can be just what you need to help them learn to ask for attention and wait for it.

Who is it For?

These social narratives (or stories) are useful for helping individuals with autism but also many other students with other issues that affect their behavior.  The stories help them to understand others' perspectives, share information about new or problematic situations and provide them with coping strategies to help them maintain appropriate behavior and social responses. They are useful for students of all ages.

 It can be used to address common blurting out and inappropriate behaviors students may use to get attention, teaching students to wait for attention of the teacher, or as part of a more formal program in Functional Communication Training (FCT) to teach a replacement behavior of asking for attention appropriately. 

What’s Included?
