Full Dashboard Description

Help your SEN and autistic learners handle the loud noises, sensory overload, and unexpected disruption of school fire alarms and evacuation drills with this comprehensive Fire Alarm Social Story.

Designed for special education teachers, mainstream inclusion staff, and school counselors, this resource breaks down what happens during a fire drill from start to finish. It covers hearing the loud sound, stopping what you are doing, lining up quietly, walking calmly outside to the assembly point, and waiting patiently until it is safe to return. Featuring simple, direct language and clear visual cues, it helps replace panic and sensory anxiety with predictable, calm routines.

Key Features:

• Sensory & Routine Preparation: Addresses the loud noise and sudden change in routine in a reassuring, structured way.
• SEN-Friendly Design: Accessible language tailored for learners with autism (ASD), sensory processing differences, anxiety, or ADHD.
• Low-Prep & Practical: Ready to print as a mini-book or review proactively before term drills take place.

Equip your classroom with a proactive tool that turns a stressful, high-anxiety event into a predictable, manageable routine. Download today from the TES store!
