SPEDing Through Life

This is a visual that I created for a student whose behavioral issues seemed to be largely sensory seeking. My school uses the color-coded Zones of Regulation. The visual provides sensory replacements for biting, scratching, and hair-pulling (red-zone choices). I hang the visual near her desk above a bucket of sensory objects/toys. You can change the "green zone" pictures based on available sensory objects.

I created this Cryptid report to engage a student who had absolutely no interest in geography, but LOVED monsters and legends. He ended up creating a whole book full of legendary creatures from across the country. This editable print-out focuses on 4 major landmarks - The Rocky Mountains, The Appalachian Mountains, The Great Lakes, and the Mississippi River.

I created these Student Info sheets to put on my students' lockers. It includes spaces for recording their service/specials times, IEP goals, and any special alerts (allergies, sensory/behavioral needs, etc). I also keep copies in my Sub Binder so that someone who is less familiar with my students would be able to quickly learn some of the basic information.

Your students can use this graphic organizer to explore the characters in their reading assignments through a format that they're all too familiar with. I created this activity when I was teaching 9th grade ELA but I have used it with my SpEd kids as well. Just add a picture of the character and you're good to go!

Laminate and hang up the page (I hang it on my snack locker), then print pictures of available options and use velcro to attach the pictures to the squares.

A fun and delicious way to introduce concepts of division to your class. You will need Swedish Fish (or something comparable) in order to complete this activity.

This editable poster was created on Publisher from a simple drawing of the Instagram logo. It is 26x26.
