Saying Goodbye Social Story Curriculum

This English-language Saying Goodbye set presents everyday departures: a parent leaving for work, school drop-off, a friend leaving the house, and saying goodbye to a teacher. It includes story text, a six-item rule summary, basic and advanced quizzes, answer keys, a token-board form, and a teaching guide.

Publisher identified in the materials: Special Learning.

Material context: One supplied story version repeats the school drop-off text on consecutive pages, so that version retains a duplicated passage.

The story uses examples such as “Bye, dad!” and “Bye, mom!” alongside departures involving a friend and a teacher. Its compact story material repeats the situations and collects them into a six-item rule summary.

The quiz booklet includes basic yes/no, fill-in-the-blank with a word bank, and matching activities, plus advanced fill-in-the-blank, true/false, and multiple choice. Some items contrast leaving with arriving, and an answer key follows the quizzes.

A token-board form provides a space for a chosen reward. The 2013 guide discusses reinforcement, token systems, skill maintenance, and acting out story situations with people or dolls.
