No Sidewalk, No Problem

Help your autistic child stay safe while walking on roads without sidewalks! This social story teaches safe walking habits and builds confidence outdoors.

No Sidewalk, No Problem:
Sometimes we will go for a walk around our neighborhood. It could be to exercise, Trick-or-Treat, or see holiday lights.
If the neighborhood does not have a sidewalk, I need to be extra careful.
I will hold the hand of the adult in my group to make sure I am safe.
As we walk on the street, I will stay on the side closest to the houses. I will follow instructions and not run when we are on the street.
If a car is approaching, I will calmly let it pass by.
Walking around the neighborhood is fun when I am walking safely with an adult.

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.
