A SOCIAL STORY

The media center is a quiet place for students to check out books, study, and create.

I might hear a beeping noise of books being scanned for check out.

I might hear the phone ring at the front desk.

I might hear people talking while working on group projects.

If it gets noisy, I can get noise canceling head-phones from the sensory kit at the front desk.

The library has plenty of light coming from the windows and overhead lights. This helps people read and move safely.

If it is too bright for my eyes, I can borrow sunglasses from the sensory kit at the front desk.

Having a calm body and mind helps me stay safe at the media center. If I am calm, I am happy and safe. This makes other people happy and safe as well.

If I find myself feeling anxious, frustrated, sad, angry, overwhelmed, or scared, I can take a break in the calming space or use the sensory kit.

From the sensory kit, I can use noise canceling head-phones, sunglasses, fidgets, and other supports while I remain with my class.

If I need a separate space to calm down, I can use the calming space. An adult can help me find it if I do not know where it is.
