My Project

Creating task boxes with the requested plastic boxes, laminating pouches, and cardstock will allow my students to work on pre-vocational skills to prepare them for when they go into day programs after graduation. Students need to practice different skills that allow for them to learn to complete tasks independently.

Task boxes will include: separating different colors, matching numbers, sorting silverware, matching emotions, sorting groceries, sorting laundry, sequencing household chore tasks and matching community signs.

As students learn these skills, they can then be used in the community when looking for items in grocery stores, recognizing signs in the community during Community Based Instruction and recognizing their bus when being picked up by ACCESS.
