School emergency drills can be scary for special needs children! Use these materials created with familiar Boardmaker symbols to help them understand the routine of a lockdown drill and how to stay safe. Lockdown drill visuals come in 3 levels so that each of your special learners can understand. I recommend laminating the materials for longevity.

Special learners often don't know how to regulate their emotions during the school day. Social stories can help them make acceptable choices and remain calm and cooperative during instruction. This resource comes in 3 levels to address varying levels of reading and comprehension skills. See my store for more visual helps!
