Hand dryers in public toilets
Social Story about how to cope with the sensory overload caused by hand dryers in public toilets.
So, this week's social story is all about those pesky hand dryers in public toilets. You know, the ones that can be a total nightmare for children who are extra sensitive to loud noises. If they get overwhelmed and end up having a meltdown, your outing may come to a screeching halt.
I share your dread when you look around the toilet and silently pray and hope that there are not a lot of people wishing to dry their hands.
