"Fire Safety Song" With Printable Cards

The Fire Safety Song shows children of all ages what to do in case of a fire in the home.   There are many lessons in the song, including the importance of staying calm, crawling under smoke, and going to the meeting place quickly. As with all safety lessons, parents should listen to the song with their child and practice the safety steps in their own home.

Fire and Burn Safety Training for Young Adults w/ASD

Another awesome resource from Autism Speaks!

"In January 2010, the Autism Speaks Family Services Community Grants program funded Safe Signals, a project from the Ohio State University Medical Center. Safe Signals is designed to promote fire and burn safety for older teens and young adults. The materials were written for young adults and parents to talk about safety. They were created by health professionals and educators who had the chance to work with and learn from young adults on the autism spectrum."

Electricity Safety Game

Another request from Positively Autism's Facebook page was a Social Story for electricity safety. I'm not an expert in this topic, so I didn't feel comfortable writing one. Instead, I found an interactive online electricity safety game on the website of Austin Energy. I can't guarantee that it will cover all the bases of electricity safety or that it will meet your child's learning needs, but I do think it's a good resource to check out and see if it meets your needs.

Some of the games I looked at had pictures of things that were unsafe to do, and the child needed to click on the unsafe things to identify them. However, I didn't link to one of these because I don't like to show my students incorrect examples. Some of them memorize things the first way they see them, so I don't want them seeing an unsafe example first. The game linked below does show an unsafe situation, but it allows you to click on the safe response to the situation, and shows the safe outcome, so I think this is better.

Fire Fighter Protective Clothing Tour

An interactive website with photos and text regarding the clothing that fire fighters wear. I've worked with several students who were very fearful of all of the gear, but have become more comfortable when given information like this. Having a fire fighter visit our school and talk about the gear was also very helpful in overcoming some of these fears.
