Social Story: Going Back to School - Coping with Separation Anxiety

Going back to school after a long break can be upsetting for many of our students, as they may have a difficult time leaving their parents and the comfort of home. This separation can cause distress and worry for our children, resulting in school avoidance and anxiety. This social story helps students to normalize the transition from home to school, to recognize feelings they may have in the process, and to develop strategies to cope with anxiety related to returning to school.

This 13-page social story conveys these themes using practical examples, engaging visuals, and developmentally appropriate language. It is best suited to elementary and special education classrooms.

We hope this social story helps you to help the children you work with!
