Making Your Bed

Help autistic children learn to make their beds! This social story teaches simple steps to build independence, confidence, and daily living skills.

Making My Bed When I wake up in the morning, it's helpful to make my bed.
While sleeping, I move around, and my bed sheets can get pushed to the side, or a pillow might fall.
Making my bed prepares it for another night of sleep once the day comes to an end.
To make my bed, I can:
Untangle and smooth my bed sheets
Spread my comforter across the bed
Put my pillows at the front of the bed
Place my stuffed animal or folded blanket back on the bed
When I make my bed, it helps:
With the chores in my home
Keep my room tidy for myself and guests
Make it easier to sit on to do things like read or play
Sometimes, making my bed is difficult to do alone.
If I need help making my bed, I can ask someone in my home for help.
Making my bed in the morning makes my room look nice and is a great way to start my day!

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.
