Preposition Adapted Books

(0)
This activity pack includes sentence building / adapted books to work on prepositions. These books are great for a Spec Ed or Autism classroom. This download comes with two different books for you to choose from; symbols with words or just words. I recommend laminating each page and binding together as a book. I would also recommend using velcro for symbols/words and the boxes on each page just so that the symbols/words don't move around when students place them on page but that is personal preference. You will need to cut out the words/symbols individually and laminate them too, it can be time consuming but once made is a great, valuable resource to be kept for long term use. Comes with 20 different pages/activities.

Conversation Prompt Task Cards Social Skills

Conversation Prompt Task Cards Social Skills

(0)
This resource includes 104 different prompt cards to help and encourage students to make conversation. Conversation is a hard skill for our students to master, especially when trying to start one. These prompt cards help to break the ice and encourage your students to feel more supported and confident when starting a conversation. A conversation helps to build relationships between students or even staff. It's also a great way for you to find out more about your students in class - especially if you have many shy students who usually struggle to keep a conversation flowing. The cards are bright and fun to keep students engaged throughout the activity. The prompt cards come in b/w and col. option as well as with UK and US spelling options. These are fantastic for prompting students to start conversations with each other, especially for morning work, social skills groups etc.
Autism Classroom Visuals, Working For Reward System

Autism Classroom Visuals, Working For Reward System

(0)
This is a great visual resource to help motivate and encourage students to complete their task(s) or work in order to gain tokens to receive their reward. Students collect a token for each task they complete/minute worked (you choose), once they have achieved all the tokens they get to have their choice activity. It is important for you to offer children the choice of what they want once they have finished their work so that they are motivated to achieve it at the end! This resource comes with two different options of each board (one with a yellow box for choice to go inside, one with black box). It also comes in 4 different difficulty levels. ♦ Level 1: 3 tokens then reward ♦ Level 2: 4 tokens then reward ♦ Level 3: 5 tokens then reward ♦ Level 4: 10 tokens then reward If you are unsure of what your student's level of working is, I would start at the bottom and use level 1 then build your way up, if you feel your student is capable of working a large amount before achieving their reward then use your professional opinion on where to start them. To put together; ♦ print out the board that you want to use ♦ laminate it and attach velcro bits in each box ♦ cut out and laminate the choice activities provided (or provide your own) and add velcro to the back of them so that they will stick to the box on the page ♦ cut out and laminate your choice of reward coupons (3 different options provided) and also velcro these. You're done! This is a great resource for encouraging students to work and also to improve how long they are able to work for or how many activities they can complete! This resource comes with some choice symbols, if you feel there is something that you desperately need please feel free to contact me through the 'Ask a question' tab as a request and I will try my best to add it. The symbols included so far are; ♦ ball pit ♦ blocks ♦ game (2 options) ♦ book ♦ bubbles ♦ car ♦ computer ♦ lego ♦ iPad ♦ music (2 options) ♦ outside ♦ playground ♦ puppets ♦ relax ♦ sand ♦ time out ♦ choice ♦ toys ♦ train ♦ walk ♦ trampoline ♦ water play.
