Product Description
Looking for social stories and autism classroom resources that target the behaviors you actually deal with every day? This bundle brings together three of my most-used resources — built around the classroom behaviors that come up the most: waiting for the teacher’s attention, following directions and classroom routines, and coping with transitions and schedule changes.
Every story in this bundle is built on the same framework — descriptive sentences and perspective-taking statements (not just a list of rules) — so your students learn the WHY behind the expected behavior, plus practical coping and emotional regulation strategies they can actually use. These are great for students who can recite the rule but don’t always understand it applies to them.
Whether your student blurts out during instruction, struggles to walk quietly in line, or falls apart when specials get switched, you’ll have a targeted social story and visual support ready to go.
This bundle is perfect for special education teachers, autism classroom teachers, behavior specialists, BCBAs, school counselors, and inclusion teachers supporting students with IEPs or behavior intervention plans.
What’s Included in This Social Stories Bundle
✅ Waiting Social Story Set — Waiting & Getting the Teacher’s Attention (4 stories + tools) For the students who blurt, yell, or throw things to get the teacher’s attention.

- 2 wait visuals to use when teaching the skill
- A teaching protocol for using Functional Communication Training (FCT) to address attention-seeking behavior
- A sorting activity for practicing appropriate vs. inappropriate ways to gain attention (doubles as visual reminders)
✅ Social Stories Following Directions, Lining Up & Raising Hands (9 stories + visuals) For the everyday classroom routines students navigate all day long. Each story comes in two formats: a book version (one idea per page) AND a one-page printable.
- 3 lining up stories: Lining Up in Class, Walking in Line, I Can’t Always Be First
- 6 social stories on raising hands, waiting to be called on, hearing another student give your answer, when the teacher calls on someone else, anxiety about not answering, and following whole-class directions
- 8 visual cues for coping strategies and classroom expectations
✅ Social Story for Transitions & Coping with Change Toolkit (with emotional regulation supports) For the students who melt down when the schedule shifts or specials get switched.

How to Use This Social Stories and Autism Bundle in Your Classroom
For students I’ve worked with, I love using the self-talk statements as a great way to help students internalize the strategies to cope with changes to the routines.
❤️ You will LOVE how flexible this bundle is. Use these social stories across your day:
- Direct instruction during morning meeting or social skills time
- Pre-teaching before a known trigger (a fire drill, a substitute, an assembly)
- Tier 2 and Tier 3 RTI/MTSS classroom behavior interventions
- Part of a formal Functional Communication Training program for attention-seeking behaviors
- Building a “social story binder” you can pull from all year long
- Emotional regulation support during transitions and unexpected schedule changes
- Generalization across school staff (the perspective sentences help paraprofessionals reinforce the why, not just the what)
Pair these social stories with the included visual supports, breathing cues, and rating scales to build a complete classroom behavior toolkit — one that targets the specific skills your students need to be successful.
