Animal Themed Errorless Learning Activities for Special Education

These simple matching activities are errorless learning activities based on Applied Behavior Analysis. Great for getting young students, students with developmental disabilities (including autism) and struggling learners to feel successful!

The pack is animal themed and includes 10 activities for the following animals:
Turtle
Penguin
Dog
Cat
Cow
Alligator
Elephant
Bear
Giraffe
Frog

Patrick McGreevy, a BCBA, explains in this article that errorless teaching should be considered in these four specific situations:
"1) with very young children with developmental disabilities, including autism, especially if these children have exhibited a tendency to avoid instructional situations
2) with children or adults who have a history of failure with respect to specific academic tasks or school itself
3) with children or adults with developmental disabilities, who exhibit severe aggressive or self-injurious behavior
4) with children who have experienced any form of abuse."

I use errorless teaching often during direct instruction, but I've also started to use it during independent work for my students who are more reluctant to work independently. I want to share a few tips and ideas for how to make errorless learning activities.
