Bus Safety

Teach your autistic child about bus safety with this easy-to-follow social story!

Bus Safety:
Sometimes I ride to school in a school bus.
When it's time to go to school, I wait for the bus to pick me up.
I stand on the sidewalk to make sure the bus can safely drive on the street.
When the bus arrives, I wait on the sidewalk until the bus stops.
Once the doors open, I will not run into the bus I will use the handrails to get on the bus so I can keep myself and my friends safe.
Once I find an empty seat, I will sit down and put on my seatbelt.
If I need help, someone will be there to help me.
To be safe on the bus, I need to stay in my seat.
I will also keep my belongings on my seat and my hands to myself.
When the school bus arrives at school, I will wait until the bus driver parks the bus and tells us we can exit.
To exit the bus, I will wait my turn and I will not run on the bus or down the stairs.
When I get off the bus, I can say, "Thank you!" to the bus driver.

Social stories use simple langauge and clear visuals to walk your autistic child through situations like new routines, transitions, or social interactions. Reading them together ahead of time helps reduce anxiety, builds understanding, and makes unfamiliar moments feel more predictable and manageable.
