  • Join to access all included materials

Traffic and stop lights can be a bother for even the most patient person, but when you have autism, that extra time spent in a hot car can be a real nuisance. Here is a great story that addresses the need to be patient while waiting or riding in the car. It can be customized with your learner's name, photos, and behaviors. It provides a consistent set of steps in a story format to help the child know what to expect and what they can do in response to the frustration they may feel.
