Getting my students engaged in small group activities can be a challenge because my students typically play by themselves. Typically students with autism have difficulty joining an activity and transitioning from one subject to the next. It is important for us to have access to activities and materials in our classroom that allow us to practice learning to learn skills such as transitioning, joining a group, and changing routines, sitting, attending, following directions, etc. These activities will also allow me to incorporate other skill building exercises to work on foundational communication skills, turn taking, waiting, requesting, and more. To be able to work on these crucial life skills while also building upon students' academic goals will be invaluable!
