Anxiety Social Story For Identifying Triggers & Coping Skills

This anxiety social story will help students learn all about identifying triggers, specifically with anxiety, and introduces anxiety specific coping skills that they can use to self-regulate! 

Anxiety in our students is on the rise, and not just with students on the Autism Spectrum, but any of our students! And what I have found is that our students struggle to understand what makes them anxious or worried. 

This social story helps to alleviate that problem as it introduces common anxiety triggers that help students pinpoint exactly which situations cause them to feel stressed, scared, or even worried. 

After identifying triggers of anxiety, the story then discusses practical ways to calm themselves down, to help promote emotional regulation. And the best part is, the social story is just the tip of the iceberg! It includes coping skill cards and a choice board with multiple calming strategies that your students can use in their everyday lives! So not only are you introducing the concepts in the social story, but you are able to reinforce the concepts in the classroom as well! 

Needing a digital option? I’ve got you covered! This also includes a digital version of the story with the same concepts so that way you can use it for class lessons, in anxiety small groups, or even on a tablet!
