Free Social Story When Can I Touch Myself ( Boys Version( : This Package Includes : 13 pages
Puberty can be a difficult time for teens and parents. Parents find the time challenging as they have to explain the changes that are taking place, appropriate social skills and, help the teen cope with changes happening in their body. As part of my puberty section, I am trying to break down some of the issues that are relevant to teens with Autism and developmental disabilities.
We had to explain to my own son and my brother Niam, when it was appropriate ( private places ) and inappropriate ( public places) to touch themselves. We found ourselves often prompting Niam verbally and reinforcing when he forgot. We wrote this social story for him, but would like to share it with all of you. We chose the bedroom as a private place rather than a bathroom, as bathroom can be found at friends homes, restaurants , shopping centres. This is something important to keep in mind when teaching what rooms are private.
Hope this books helps you.
This free social story can also be used as part of a reading program or behaviour management program. Use the book to talk, ask questions and answer questions.
This is a great ABA Resource, school education program, social story and free printable worksheet for your students as part of a home living program, parental resources and school program to reinforce important skills for children with Autism and other developmental disabilities.

Thank you for tackling this topic. A few thoughts though. I would remove the symbolated text at the bottom as the research shows that symbolated text is contraindicated and does not help with comprehension. Second, I would remove the last page about parents and people being happy about a students choice to touch themselves. That is subjective and really isnt necessary or helpful when using a social story. The goal is to provide information and expectations. I appreciate whoever made this resource and I thank you!
Very useful resource, would be helpful to be able to customize like adding own images.
Was supposed to be for kindergarten, but showed nude children. I’m not comfortable share that much information with my special Ed students.
Excellent!
I love this product but I would love it to be available for all skin tones. In addition, I find some of the symbols to be confusing. for example, the word can has a food can.
Helpful with students
This social story is perfect for the current issue my client is dealing while entering puberty.
Clear, concise. Good social story
Great job dealing with a very sensitive subject.
