My Project

Hello, this year I am teaching students who have special sensory and social and emotional challenges who are working on regulating their skills and improving their participation in the classroom and out in the community! These task boxes and activities will benefit our students in multiple ways. They will get to work on underlying skills and improve their performance in the classroom and in the community! Any help is appreciated to help support our students!

We work on various vocational skills in the classroom and out in the community including focusing and following simple to multi step directions and these tools can help support our focus skills and organization skills!
