Shaving My Face Puberty Autism Social Story For Special Education

Shaving my face social story for Autism / Special Education.

For Autistic students learning to shave for the first time can be daunting and a change to their daily routine that may take some time to get used to.

I originally created this Social Story for my own Autistic son Conor some years ago and more recently updated the wording for second Autistic son Jack.

The social story is created in a page by page format so you may include or exclude pages as you see fit and place them in which ever order you prefer. You can include or exclude pages as you see fit and place them in the order that suits your intended goal.

Use a laminator to ensure longevity of use.

Print and laminate each sheet of the Social Story, cutting down the center line there after. Attach book rings to create a book format.

Sit down with your child at a time they are relaxed and engaged. Read through the story and encourage any questions they may have. For students who may not be able to read, read the story for them and use the visual icons to help your child/student understand the different issues highlighted.

Ensure you keep your tone calm, relaxed and open to hearing/understanding any worries or anxieties your student/child may have. Use each page as a jumping off point for other worries your child may be feeling.
