Students with autism learn best with hands-on activities! If you are not yet using task boxes in your self-contained classroom, let me help you get started!
What are Task Boxes?
Task Boxes are just what they sound like – They are small tasks that are usually stored in boxes! The task can be anything from a fine motor task, a Velcro task, or a task that uses a dry-erase marker. Some task boxes are seasonal and others are evergreen (can be used year-round!). Task boxes can be used as independent work or a paraprofessional- run center
How are Task Boxes Stored and Presented?
Task Boxes can be stored and presented in a variety of ways. You can store and present task boxes in photo boxes, hard pencil cases, or soft pencil cases. Here are some links to ways you can store task boxes. (I appreciate you using these affiliate links so that I can continue to provide you with free and meaningful content.)
