Printable: Protecting Myself from Pregnancy and STDs Social Story Curriculum

Publisher identified in the materials: Special Learning.

Material context: The story and general instructional booklet carry 2013 copyright dates. The delivered story and cards also include consent and safety material; this page describes their contents without presenting contraception instructions as medical advice.

“My Body, My Choice” comes before the contraception story and addresses choosing whether to have sex, asking a partner, changing one’s mind, privacy, and getting help. The accompanying cards place these topics before the contraception cards.

The pregnancy and STD story uses first-person statements about different contraceptive methods and asking a doctor questions. Its glossary includes contraception, prescription, uterus, condom, and a definition of a trusted adult.

The separate instructional booklet discusses social story reading routines, reinforcement, token systems, and skill maintenance. Its general teaching examples include greetings, shoe tying, and saying thank you.
