Social Story- First I Do My Work Then I Get What I Want

This social story is created utilizing the behavioral strategy of "First... then." The story includes several examples of what students need to do first (non-preferred task) then they get the preferred task. It is great for social skills instruction, in autistic support, emotional support or life skills support classrooms. Guidance counselors may use this in sessions also. The simple wording and corresponding graphics make it clear for students that first something needs to occur before they get what they want. This social story is a key component for students who have difficulty complying with demands/requests.
