Asking Before Touching Social Story

Help learners understand the importance of asking before touching others with this supportive social story.

It teaches key expectations, including:

• Understanding that everyone has their own personal space
• Asking before giving a hug, holding hands, or touching someone
• Waiting for the person to respond before touching
• Respecting “no” or “stop” if someone does not want to be touched
• Choosing another way to connect, such as waving, smiling, or saying hello

Perfect for supporting consent, personal boundaries, respectful interactions, and positive relationships at school, home, and in the community.
