Taking Care Of Myself

Social Story: Taking a Shower
Taking a shower helps my body feel clean and fresh. It washes away dirt, sweat, and smells so I can feel more comfortable.
When I take a shower, I don’t have to worry about getting rid of my knots. The shower will just make sure my hair and scalp are clean.
Before I take a shower, I can grab my towel, clean clothes, and anything else I need.
In the shower, the warm water will help clean my body and hair. I can use:
• Soap to wash my body.
• Shampoo to clean my hair.
If I don’t like water on my face, that’s okay! I can lean back, close my eyes, or ask for help to keep the water away.
When I’m done, I can dry off with a towel and get dressed. My hair will stay the way I like it, but it will be clean.
After my shower, I’ll feel fresh and ready to go about my evening, happy and comfortable. Taking care of myself feels great!
