I'm currently a teacher in a special needs school working with pupils who have ASD. I've worked in a number of age ranges, from 3-16. All of my resources are ones that I have used in class and have worked well! Although my resources are aimed towards pupil with ASD, they are easily and quickly adapted to use in mainstream schools too.

Food Tech - Baking - Sorting Activity

**Food Tech - Baking - Sorting Activity ** These sorting activities are based on food technology, especially on promoting the correct vocabulary used in the kitchen with equipment/routines/ingredients. It can be used as a single use cut and stick worksheet, or can be laminated with velcro to be used again - the latter is what I have done with this resource myself. The addition of velcro to the activity adds a tactile element that works well with pupils and engagement. I’m currently a teacher in a special needs school for children with ASD. The class I currently have range from P4 - 2C. We use these as starter activity during food technology lessons weekly. Our topic for this term is baking, so we use these to help boost our vocabulary, as well as for recognition of routines/equipment/ingredients when in the kitchen. The repetition of these activities weekly works well, and we are seeing great improvement in food technology, especially with vocabulary.
