This social story, When It Gets Too Loud, is designed to support elementary-aged students in understanding and managing their feelings when their surroundings become too noisy. Loud environments, such as classrooms, cafeterias, or playgrounds, can feel overwhelming or uncomfortable for some children. Especially useful for students with autism spectrum disorder, and sensory sensitivities, this story helps validate those experiences by explaining them in a child-friendly way and offering clear, practical coping strategies that promote self-regulation and emotional awareness.

Throughout the story, students are introduced to tools such as taking deep breaths, using headphones, finding a quiet space, or asking for a break. These strategies empower children to care for themselves when sensory input feels like too much. With simple language and engaging visuals, the story encourages self-advocacy and reassures children that it’s okay to need support.

Ideal for use by educators, school psychologists, parents, and therapists, this story can be a valuable part of daily routines, calm-down areas, or small group instruction. It helps create a more inclusive and supportive environment for all learners by promoting understanding, empathy, and effective coping techniques.
