The Giving Everyone Room – Understanding Personal Space social story is designed to help young learners understand and respect personal space in different settings. Through simple, clear language and engaging visuals, this resource teaches students about personal boundaries, how to recognise when someone needs space, and how to communicate their own needs politely.
Students will explore why personal space is important, how to adjust their distance based on the situation, and strategies to respond when someone invades their space or when they need more room themselves.
This social story is ideal for explicit social-emotional learning lessons, behaviour management, and supporting neurodivergent students who may need guidance in understanding social norms.
