Asking to Use the Bathroom Social Story Curriculum

Asking to Use the Bathroom is an English social story about telling others when a bathroom visit is needed. The 2014 text supplies phrases for class, family dinner, and a friend's house, addresses private information, and includes a six-point recap and instructional guides.

Publisher identified in the materials: Special Learning.

Material context: The six-point story focuses on communicating a bathroom request; it does not set out a toilet-training or hygiene sequence.

The classroom example pairs raising a hand with a polite bathroom request. Separate examples cover excusing oneself at family dinner and letting a friend know before leaving to use the bathroom.

A privacy passage distinguishes announcing a bathroom visit from describing what happens there, and a six-point recap repeats the story. The accompanying booklet describes reading review and acting out story steps with an adult or dolls.
