The table of contents verifies several delivery choices for the same social-story topic. Teachers can present the digital version to a group, use the larger printed story, assemble a compact half-size copy, or work with individual story cards. The supplied pages do not reveal the story wording or follow-up prompts, so this draft stays at the format and topic level. The material should support guided discussion rather than substitute for individualized support.

About this resource

Help your students navigate social complexities with this social story about emotions; more specifically: feeling left out. Social stories are a great way to help students understand how to work through different, complex, situations by breaking them down into smaller, simpler terms. 

This social story helps students with dealing with the feeling of being left out. This story walks through why sometimes people might night want to play, and how to deal with those feelings. This story includes a half-size and full sheet version of the story to have it work for your needs! 

It also includes the same story in card format, script format, and even included a digital presentation that you can use on an iPad or for whole class lessons! This social story helps students understand how to get along with others, by identifying other perspectives of why someone may not want to play with them, rather than seeing it as a personal attack.

This social story is perfect to use not just with kids on the Autism Spectrum, but also in your social skills lessons, friendship lessons, and social skills groups! It also includes an ink-friendly version that students can colour as you introduce the story to them!
