How to Greet Someone

Help your autistic child learn how to greet others! This social story breaks down greetings into simple steps to build confidence and communication skills.

How to greet someone
Greeting people I know shows them I remember them
When I see them I can look at them and say a greeting
I can calmly say "Hello, good to see you!" and try to smile
Then I can either shake their hand, wave my hand or give them a fist dump
Letting people know what greetings I enjoy makes sure we are both comfortable when greeting each otherDownload Now!
