About the store
This is my fifth year teaching students with autism at a separate public day school. My students are profoundly impacted by their autism, but with an environment engineered for structured, systematic learning they succeed. It is amazing to see their progress and wonderful to make connections with the students and their families. I am so excited to share these beginning learning activities and hope they work as accommodations, maintenance, or the next step in learning.

Hi TPT! Here is an ABLLS aligned visual discrimination task. There are 4 headers that help students sort by function.

Hope this helps you and yo

Includes: summer, St. Patrick's Day, Halloween, Autumn, Thanksgiving, winter, Christmas, Spring, Valentine's Day and Summer. 5 puzzles per theme

Hi TpT, I've also created over 40 puzzles to help early learners identify and order letters. Each puzzle is different than their counterpart, the 1-5 puzzles. Students learn to rely on the alphabetic clues at the bottom of the puzzles to help them arrange the puzzle properly. This works on visual discrimination and print awareness. 5 themed puzzles each. Includes: Autumn, Halloween, Spring, Summer, Christmas, Winter, and St. Patrick's Day.

Experience

This is my fifth year teaching students with autism at a separate public day school. My students are profoundly impacted by their autism, but with an environment engineered for structured, systematic learning they succeed. It is amazing to see their progress and wonderful to make connections with the students and their families. I am so excited to share these beginning learning activities and hope they work as accommodations, maintenance, or the next step in learning.

Teaching style

My teaching style relies heavily on ABA techniques and task-analysis. With the right interventions and motivations, all children can be engaged learners.
