❤️ What are teachers saying…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “This was a helpful resource for students to practice their sorting and identification skills. The resource was also helpful in identifying animals, objects, and things by similar and different attributes.” - Benjamin L.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “This is an excellent resource! I have been able to use it with kindergarten students and adapt it to our students with ASD in other grade levels. Thank you!” - Mary Beth M.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “You create such great activities. I love the graphics and that they don't seem "baby-ish" for older students. Most of all, you address subjects that are difficult for me to teach, like science for example. I get your emails and they are always so helpful and encouraging. Thanks again. Keep up the good work!” - Doranne B.
Students with autism and other language delays and disorders need explicit instruction in vocabulary beyond simply naming items. One way that we address this is to work on receptive and expressive characteristics of items and actions. Specifically we work on features (i.e., adjectives like color, size etc.), function (i.e., what we use it for) and class (i.e., categories it can fall into). This set of activities was developed to help students practice these skills in a variety of ways in addition to the explicit instruction of them. Teaching vocabulary using a variety of materials and interventions is important to assure that students generalize their skills.
