These resources will help my students learn through play! Play is a fantastic learning tool for my special needs students. They often do not have the ability to sit at a table and complete worksheets or computer assignments. These students need books and toys that are hands-on to interact with. With these materials, we will be able to practice skills such as turn-taking, requesting, commenting, describing, and using core words such as more, all done, and help. Many of my students are non-verbal. The first skills I often practice with these students are producing animal sounds and environmental sounds such as eating, drinking, car, and train sounds. With these toys, my students will also be able to work on communicating their wants by pointing to what toy they want or using words or sign language to request their preferred activity. They will also have plenty of hands-on manipulatives to play with when practicing making animal, eating, drinking, car, and train sounds! My students that are more verbal will be able to practice their describing skills! For example, we will be able to work on phrases such as "I see a blue car", "I like the big train", or "That pig is pink". Producing these phrases will greatly help my students communicate their wants and thoughts; something that will make their teachers, therapists, and parents so excited!
