New Resource!
Our I Need a Break Social Story is now available on TPT. This story helps learners understand when they need a break and how to ask for one using AAC, symbols, or signs.

Breaks aren’t rewards. They’re regulation, autonomy, and self‑advocacy.
This story gives kids the language and confidence to take care of themselves.

Perfect for classrooms, therapy, and home
AAC‑affirming
Easy to print + share with families

Find it in our TPT store here: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/I-Need-a-Break-AACFriendly-Social-Story-16398966
