Knowing what signs indicate sensory needs is imperative for adults working with students with autism or sensory processing disorders. This poster gives indicators of ONE type of sensory need 'vestibular'. It also pairs signs that a student may be over or underresponsive to vestibular sensory and activities to help the student self-regulate under either circumstance. Check out my Sensory Room Bundle for a complete sensory room setup including seven more posters like this one, mini-visual schedules for the sensory room, rules for the sensory room visual poster, and science standards that are aligned to sensory activities.

This is a fifteen-page guide to getting started in a self-contained special education or life skills classroom. Included are descriptions, helpful hints, and pictures from actual classrooms.

The following topics are covered:

Scheduling

Lesson Planning

When a new student comes to class there are several things that take priority to everything else. I made this document after enrolling several new students this year. It has simplified my life tremendously by having a guide to go by when speaking with parents of new students. It also helps tremendously to fill out one of these on each student at the beginning of the year so that paras and teachers have a quick guide to go by per student.

This lesson plan/ scope and sequence was created for special education/life skills classes. The document covers every Essence Statement or standard in Algebra I and uses the TEA Vertical Alignment document to differentiate activities for students. Each lesson has three levels to provide access for ALL students to the TEKS; the leveled activities are for guided/independent practice. The units are set up in three-week increments.
