I Am Autistic Social Story
This social story is designed to explain a little about what autism is to a child with ASD. It is a positive story to aid and understanding and ease any anxiety.
The point of a social story is to use a patient and reassuring tone to teach children about social situations in a way that can be easily understood. Social stories can be useful for any child who is struggling to understand a situation or concept or needs help to understand a social skill or social cue, expectations, perspectives, common responses or is troubled about an upcoming event but social stories are particularly useful for children on the autistic spectrum for whom social cues can be challenging and who often suffer anxiety if they do not know what to expect from a situation.
These books should be used over and over to reinforce the point so I would suggest either putting the pages into a display book or laminating and binding them.

Licking Social Story
Social story about licking, explaining to children that certain things are okay to lick but that we should not lick furniture or other people. For autistic children licking can be a self stimulatory, sensory behaviour but obviously if they begin licking other people or licking germ ridden objects this can become an issue.
The point of a social story is to use a patient and reassuring tone to teach children about social situations in a way that can be easily understood. Social stories can be useful for any child who is struggling to understand a situation or concept or needs help to understand a social skill or social cue, expectations, perspectives, common responses or is troubled about an upcoming event but social stories are particularly useful for children on the autistic spectrum for whom social cues can be challenging and who often suffer anxiety if they do not know what to expect from a situation.
These books should be used over and over to reinforce the point so I would suggest either putting the pages into a display book or laminating and binding them.

Wriggle Break Cards - to Support children who need movement breaks
A movement break is a short interval to allow children to move their bodies to help to reengage their brain and attention. A movement break is literally that – a break to get up and move. This can really mean anything – stretches, action songs, aerobics, yoga or games. Although this is particularly helpful for children with ADHD or autism it is effective for all children. Quick, frequent breaks not only enable students to stay focused on learning but can actually improve learning.
These cards can be used at times when you assess a child is in need of a break from sitting still or just at regular intervals throughout the day. Simply pass a card to a child when they are becoming agitated, they can carry out the activity and then return to the lesson.
20 different activity cards showing words and images for the child to follow.

Picture to Picture Matching
Children to match pictures to identical pictures. Picture to picture matching can be useful to promote pre-reading skills as it helps children learn to visually discriminate between objects, rather than using touch to feel the difference. Perfect for an independent workstation activity. I would advice laminating and using velcro to make this into an activity that can be used again and again.
This set includes 9 base boards each with 9 picture cards to match.

Numbers in Words Play Dough Mats
Play dough mats are a great way to practice fine motor skills while learning a variety of other skills. These particular mats can be used to help teach children numbers in words.
Although I have suggested play dough for these mats they would also work with various other sensory materials as well simply with whiteboard pens.
