Water Safety Book - Social Story about staying safe around water

I'm excited about my first social story! Partly because it's about a very important topic and partly because I illustrated it myself! Check it out. Here are the cover page and a few pages from inside.




Water safety is very important for children to learn. Especially of concern are children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The National Autism Association reports this startling statistic:
“In 2009, 2010, and 2011, accidental drowning accounted for 91% total U.S. deaths reported in children with an ASD ages 14 and younger subsequent to wandering/elopement.” [Autism & Safety Facts. National Autism Association. Web. 9 May 2016. . ]
