I created the Social Story: I Am Unique & Special with the purpose of teaching and showing children that they (as well as everyone they meet) are different and unique in many ways, and this makes us all special! The story helps to define what being different and unique means, and uses examples such as: a. The way we LOOK (e.g., hair, eyes, skin, etc.) b. They way we TALK (e.g., fast, loud, slow, quiet, etc.) c. They way we MOVE (e.g., fast, slow, fidgety, etc.) d. The way we ACT (e.g., excited, hyper, shy, etc.) e. The way we FEEL (e.g., happy, mad, sad, worried, etc.) f. Our ORIGINS: Where We Come From (e.g., country, culture, family, language, etc.) g. SKILLS and TALENTS We Have (e.g., subjects, music, art, sports, activities, etc.) h. The Ways We LEARN (e.g., visual, verbal, seeing, doing, etc.) i. The Ways We Handle STRESS (e.g., screaming, hugs, withdrawing, talking, etc.) j. The CONDITIONS We Live With (e.g., ASD, FASD, ADHD, physical handicaps, etc.) The Story concludes by reminding our students that Being Unique and Different is What Makes Us Special! And This is Okay, and Something to Be Proud of in Others and Ourselves. Format is 15 PAGES, colour PDF, 8.5x11, and so can be easily printed and laminated. The language is simple and visuals engaging for students of all ages, developmental and grade levels. And, please feel free to leave your review and feedback so I can continue to provide valuable resources to my fellow educators. Thank You!!!
