When My Senses Don't Make Sense

The purpose for the following social stories is to give children, primarily on the Autism Spectrum, a better understanding of what they may feel, as well as providing coping mechanisms or strategies to use in overcoming sensory integration deficits. The social stories were constructed to meet the needs of children with Autism Spectrum and Sensory Integration Disorders, between the ages of three thru seven. Material may be suitable for children exceeding seven years of age if mental age (MA) is less than seven years. The stories also encourage perspective taking and teach children ways to more appropriately respond, so as to get their individual needs met; while being respectful of others.
