Social Story - Behaviours, Behaviors

(0)

This social story is 22 page story on behaviour/behaviors. It comes with a choice of 3 different covers (my helping story, behaviour management, behavior management). The story is a walkthrough of different things that students may do if they get angry/sad and how you/they can help calm. Each page comes with a descriptive image/symbol. I recommend printing each page individually, laminating and then binding together a book so that it can be used for future/prolonged use. The pages included are as follows; ♦ I am happy when I get to do things I like ♦ I get sad if I have to do things I don't like ♦ Sometimes, I get angry if I have to do something I hate ♦ I may get angry if something doesn't go my way ♦ When I'm angry I don't understand how to cope ♦ I might cry ♦ I may have a tantrum ♦ I may throw things across the room ♦ I may scream really, really loud ♦ I may make a mess ♦ I may hurt myself ♦ If I hurt myself I can get more upset ♦ I may hurt someone ♦ I must remember to be kind to others ♦ If I hurt someone else, they may get upset ♦ My teacher can help me if I am angry or upset ♦ I can go to a quiet area to help me relax ♦ I can blow 5 big, deep breaths ♦ I can go for a walk ♦ It is OK to ask for help ♦ Soon, I will be happy again!
I Am Working For Visual Reward System

I Am Working For Visual Reward System

(0)
This is a great visual resource to help motivate and encourage students to complete their task(s) or work in order to gain tokens to receive their reward. Students collect a token for each task they complete/minute worked (you choose), once they have achieved all the tokens they get to have their choice activity. It is important for you to offer children the choice of what they want once they have finished their work so that they are motivated to achieve it at the end! This resource comes with two different options of each board (one with a yellow box for choice to go inside, one with black box). It also comes in 4 different difficulty levels. ♦ Level 1: 3 tokens then reward ♦ Level 2: 4 tokens then reward ♦ Level 3: 5 tokens then reward ♦ Level 4: 10 tokens then reward If you are unsure of what your student’s level of working is, I would start at the bottom and use level 1 then build your way up, if you feel your student is capable of working a large amount before achieving their reward then use your professional opinion on where to start them. To put together; ♦ print out the board that you want to use ♦ laminate it and attach velcro bits in each box ♦ cut out and laminate the choice activities provided (or provide your own) and add velcro to the back of them so that they will stick to the box on the page ♦ cut out and laminate your choice of reward coupons (3 different options provided) and also velcro these. You’re done! This is a great resource for encouraging students to work and also to improve how long they are able to work for or how many activities they can complete! This resource comes with some choice symbols, if you feel there is something that you desperately need please feel free to contact me through the ‘Ask a question’ tab as a request and I will try my best to add it. The symbols included so far are; ♦ ball pit ♦ blocks ♦ game (2 options) ♦ book ♦ bubbles ♦ car ♦ computer ♦ lego ♦ iPad ♦ music (2 options) ♦ outside ♦ playground ♦ puppets ♦ relax ♦ sand ♦ time out ♦ choice ♦ toys ♦ train ♦ walk ♦ trampoline ♦ water play.
