How to ask for a sensory break?!?

This is a social story to help children that need a sensory diet learn how to ask for a sensory break. The first step is for the child to identify that they have a crazy body and need a sensory break. This is done by simply using verbiage such as, "your body looks a little wiggly or crazy, looks like you need a sensory break." Explain to them that after you get sensory you will feel that much better. They can ask for these 6 sensory tools. The goal is for them to eventually start asking without an adults help.  

Whole Body Listening

Whole Body Listening at School is a wonderful book to get your child that may not have the best attention span to remember how we listen with our whole body and not just our ears. I made a huge poster board to not only show a visual but to also get the children involved for this social skills lesson. To use the visual you read the book and as it tells you what body part and how you listen with it, you velcro it to Larry. Not only does it teach listening skills it also helps teach children body parts.
