The materials I am requesting will be used to organize vocational and social task boxes that will allow students to work in small groups or independently as they develop basic functional skills. Students from my class will be doing a variety of functional activities that will better equip them for basic, every day skills. A wide variety of task boxes will be assembled using the plastic shoe boxes as organizers, which can then be easily grabbed for completion at school or as an activity to be sent home. These tasks include a wide variety of basic skills that my students struggle to complete.
The products that I have selected will give my students a wide variety of activities that meet functional needs for students with autism and intellectual disabilities.
1. Counting, sorting and matching with a wide variety of materials and manipulatives including clothing, rainbow dinosaurs, beads, learning links, manipulative alphabet letters, flashlights, and other everyday objects that will translate to everyday vocational items. Plastic items will be used to store and sort each of the tasks.
2. Improving basic academic tasks such as recognizing sight words, increasing basic comprehension, telling time and counting money using task cards and manipulatives including money, gear clocks, sand timers, learning locks and flash cards.
3. Practicing good social skills while playing games in a small group. Games were selected that encouraged use of basic reading and math skills.
