Getting Off The School Bus

Help your autistic child get off the school bus safely! This social story teaches when to exit and how to follow their helper's guidance.

Getting Off the School Bus This year, I am taking the school bus to get to school.
I have an assigned seat when I ride the school bus.
I make sure to stay in my seat with my seatbelt on while we ride to school.
When we arrive at the school, I will:
Sit calmly in my seat with my seatbelt still on
Wait for the bus driver to park the bus
Allow my special helper to take off my seatbelt Before getting off the school bus, I can say "thank you" to the bus driver.
Then, I will walk calmly with my special helper to the line.
In the line, I will wait my turn to go into the school building.
Once I'm in the school, I'm ready to start learning!

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.
