PLAYMOBIL brings you imaginative play sets focused around iconic figures from a variety of worlds, both realistic (like police, firemen, school buses etc.) and fantastical (like modern-day dinos).I’m sure most of the kids would figure it out naturally, but I know that A-Man needs a lot of exposure before he can truly process how to do something. The lights at the front actually flash, and the bus door actually swings open like a school bus would. In the “I Can Ride the Bus” social story we talk about how to handle these social interactions so that your autistic child knows what to expect and what is expected of them when riding the school bus. Now if he starts to ride the school bus, or he goes for a ride with Papa, he knows what to expect and we can have a meltdown-free bus ride!

Kaylene George is an autistic self-advocate, author, and mother of five, including one autistic child. She realized her own autism as an adult shortly after her son received his initial diagnosis. Suddenly the parts of her that seemed so “weird” to society had an answer. Since then, Kaylene has passionately shared about her experiences with autism from both sides of the great divide between parents and autistic self-advocates on AutisticMama.com. And if you’re working on teaching autistic children to ride the school bus, this is the post for you.A-Man still uses a lot of scripting to communicate, so I couldn’t help but smile when he shouted “seatbelts, everyone!” We had so much fun with this activity. A-Man loved playing with the bus and reading through the social story with us! Waiting at a bus stop can be dangerous if children don’t understand the social norms of where to stand and how to act while waiting.

I wait for the school bus at my bus stop. When I’m waiting, I stand on the sidewalk where I am safe. I like to talk to my friends at the bus stop.” When I’m looking for, or writing, social stories I make sure that they don’t frame natural autistic behaviors as bad, and we keep everything very positive. Once we read the social story, we used the PLAYMOBIL School Bus to act out how you would stand with your friends and wait for the school bus, and how you would line up to walk on. My dad has been a school bus driver since I was in junior high, and my kids think that’s the coolest thing ever. Off to school! The school bus takes all children on the way. The waiting children board via the folding ramp for wheelchairs at the rear doors or via the sliding door at the side. The roof of the school bus can be removed so that children and driver can easily take their seats. If more storage space for luggage is needed for special school trips, the school bus also has a trailer hitch.

A-Man’s favorite part was saying hi to the bus driver because he pretended the bus driver was Papa!

I was really impressed with the PLAYMOBIL toys that are high-quality and had such a strong attention to detail. With this social story, your autistic child will have a solid understanding of the entire process of riding the bus to school each morning. And the play sets help to develop both cognitive and social/emotional skills, and I’ve found them really helpful for my autistic son. Once all the students were in the bus, A-Man had a blast driving the school bus around and yelling “beep beep!”
