Noah’s Visual Schedule and Social Story, “Hands to Myself”

By Michele M. Lansinger

And Autism Inspiration

My originals were lost!

• My school computer was re-imaged and I lost all my original work this week! I have taken photographs of my assignment, as I decided to actually utilize it with my student. I created the book with Boardmaker at my work site. Noah is using the visual prompts for “On the Bus”, on a “ring”, along with a “circle time”, “hallway”, and “center time” page.

Noah is disruptive on the bus

• In an effort to alleviate stress to Noah and his peers as he arrives at school, Noah is using a 6 picture Visual Schedule to assist him in a safe ride.

• sit down * hands in lap

• don’t touch anyone * friendly

• quiet * school bag

Hands to Myself

• The following social story, Hands to Myself, was created for Noah to use at home and at school. Noah’s mother is receptive to keeping routines consistent and has agreed to read the story each morning BEFORE Noah rides the bus to school. He is able to locate a copy of this book in his morning Pre K class as well.
