Task boxes promote greater independence, reduce the need for verbal instruction, and provides a focused learning experience for students with autism. One of our main instructional programs is teaching independent life/pre-vocational skills through self contained task boxes. Simply put, a task box is a container that holds all of the materials needed to teach a child a certain task or skill. The students in my class are visual and tactile learners who thrive on routine and order. Task boxes offer an effective strategy to teach and build upon important life skills. Items like the nuts and bolts, wooden put in tasks, lock and keys provide specific skill sets to work on. Items like the vacuum, mop and broom of course will not fix into a small box like the other activities, but these work within the same programming to provide self help teaching opportunities that will be taught to students with the "real" objects. Our Task box program promotes greater independence through allowing the student to complete repetitive mastered skills without additional adult prompts. Each box contain a different skill set and when a box is mastered, a new one needs to be created from different materials. This is where this grant makes an impact with these students. Giving them new materials to work with enables them to learn new skills. Task Boxes reduce the need for verbal instruction from an adult and provides a focused learning experience for students with autism.
