Visual Prompts Arrival at School / Going Home Autism SEN

I have been trying to find a social story on tummy ache for quite a while now with no success. Gastroenterological problems are apparently very common in kids with autism. The main reason for these is mostly stress. I have written a story on how a child can deal with their tummy ache while they are at school. The document includes such advice as talking to an adult (teacher / teaching assistant), getting a drink and having a toilet break. Simply talking though the child's worries or concerns can help relieve their tummy upsets. Drinking some water or going to the toilet may not always bring immediate relief but it will give a child much needed break during a stressful part of the day. The document is in Word format and contains 11 mini flash cards (2 per page) including the front cover and the credits. The flash cards can be printed and laminated for durability.

A set of 30 positive affirmation cards. Great for building self-esteem in children. Cards include: I am awesome I am beautiful I am smart I am a good reader I am so important I am loved I enjoy learning I have many talents I enjoy challenges I am good at Math I always do my best I am brave I have lots of friends I believe in myself I can do it I am helpful I accept myself I am proud of myself I am wonderful My smile is like the Sun I get better and better I never give up I am creative I am a winner I am powerful I am positive I am limitless I am unique I am good at lots of things I love to try new things Made using beautiful graphics from Melonheadz. Great counselling/ motivational tool.
