I am currently working in a mixed secondary school based in Dublin. I work in an Autism classroom with mixed abilities & needs.

Flashcards for introducing fasteners include toggles, hooks and eyes, buttons and poppers, and zippers. Flashcards can be used as a Match game and also used to label examples of various clothing fasteners. See examples on images for ideas.
We printed the Flashcards and laminated them, we used them as a matching game so the student matched the fastening with the type of clothing. We also printed Flashcards, laminated them and used them to start creating a sensory board for each fastening, using examples of clothing so student could practice opening & closing the fastenings.
