I am proud to share the stories that were developed in collaboration with the Institute of Childhood Preparedness to help prepare children for safety drills. It is very important to be proactive in preparing children for drills, such as fire drills, tornado drills and active shooter drills (among other safety drills). The “Bees To A Beehive” Story is for an active shooter drill. It is geared toward young children and I absolutely love it! Andrew Roszak is the Executive Director for the Institute of Childhood Preparedness. He and I collaborated to create books for children with autism (and really ANY child) to help prepare them ahead of time for the changes in routine that come with any of these safety drills. We are happy to offer them for free. We will be working on the following additional safety preparation books in the near future: earthquake drill, hurricane drill and bus drill. Please check out the Institute for Childhood Preparedness website for a wealth of information, ideas and resources: https://www.childhoodpreparedness.org/. You can also register for and watch a FREE course titled: Protecting Children: Using Social Stories to Introduce Concepts and Emergency Preparedness Drills through the Institute For Childhood Preparedness.

On the link there is said to be an Active Shooter Drill Social Story but I cannot find it anywhere.
Hi!
The active shooter story is called “Bees To The Beehive”.
Thank You!!
Do you have an idea about a scripted story for evacuating due to an intruder? We use your Bees to the Beehive for locking down and the children and teachers have responded really well to it.
I love all the safety books. I can’t seem to find the active shooter book. When I click on it, the fire drill, tornado drill hurricane drill, and house fire come up. Am I missing it some how? Thanks
I Deborah- the active shooter one is called “Bees to the Beehive”- reach out to support@autismlittlelearners.com if you are still having trouble accessing it. All seem to be working on our end.
