Example autism fire drill social story
Sometimes school has a fire drill. The alarm may be loud. A fire drill helps everyone practice being safe. I can cover my ears if I need to. I can line up, walk with my class, and listen to my teacher. We go outside to a safe place. When the drill is finished, we go back inside.
