When Is It Okay to Interrupt the Teacher?

Teaching students how to ask for help, what questions warrant an “immediate” question, and what can wait is always tricky to navigate with young students.

This interactive social story activity provides your students with a variety of scenarios, some are situations where help can wait, and others are situations where they or someone is in trouble and must seek assistance immediately.

Further Applications of This Interactive Social Story

Why not take this resource further by using it as a stimulus to discuss other scenarios where students have had to decide whether to ask straight away or wait? Encourage students to explain why they asked straight away or decided to wait.
