About this product
Where can I find a ready-made story about asking to use the bathroom?
Asking to Use the Bathroom is an English printable social story with example requests for class, family dinner and a friend’s house. The four-PDF set costs $9.99 as a one-time digital purchase. Its focus is communicating a bathroom request; it does not provide a toilet-training or hygiene sequence.
What words does the story give my child?
The classroom example uses “May I use the bathroom, please?” after raising a hand and waiting for the teacher to call on the child. At family dinner, the example is “Excuse me. I need to use the bathroom.” A separate example explains telling a friend before leaving to use the bathroom.
Is this a complete toilet-training story?
The six numbered story pages cover making a request in different settings, privacy and telling family or friends. They do not walk through using the toilet, wiping, flushing or washing hands. Choose this resource for its request examples rather than expecting a complete toileting routine.
How long is the story itself?
Each story version contains six numbered story pages. The color PDF has 24 pages and the black-and-white PDF has 20 pages because they also include front matter, an instructional section and closing material. The full 69-page download includes both versions and the supporting PDFs.
What files are included?
The ZIP contains four PDFs: the 24-page color story, the 20-page black-and-white story, two pages of rule cards with a six-point recap, and a 23-page general Social Stories Instruction Guide. The general guide describes activities such as reading review, coloring, sequencing and role play. Its examples are not all about bathroom requests. Printed copies are not shipped.
Which wording should I check before buying?
The 2014 story uses spoken requests and a classroom routine of raising a hand and waiting for the teacher. Its privacy passage distinguishes saying that a bathroom visit is needed from giving details about what happens there. Review these examples against your child’s communication and the routines in the places where the story will be used.
