Free Special Education Printables

Book for children to fill in all about themselves including pages for photos and achievements. This is particularly useful for children with low self-esteem or an insecure sense of self.

Why do you need this?

Children can express themselves creatively by decorating the book, adding photos, and writing about their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. This encourages self-expression and helps children develop their voice and identity.

Focusing on their achievements, strengths, and positive qualities can boost children's self-esteem and confidence. Celebrating accomplishments, big or small, reinforces a positive self-image and encourages children to value themselves.

How and when might you use this?

This activity can be used in a variety of ways:

· At the beginning of the school year as an ice-breaker activity.

· Social-emotional learning lessons focused self-awareness and self-esteem.

· Counselling sessions for children who struggle with low self-esteem or insecurity.

· During small group work where children can share their books with each other and celebrate each other’s achievements.

What is included?

Looking for a way to learn the function of a student's behavior? I've got you covered with this Behavior Data Collection Sheet. This can be used as part of an official functional behavior analysis or as a way to learn how your students communicate their needs.

What's Included?

• A one-page guide to collecting ABC data (antecedent, behavior, consequence) to determine a hypothesis as to the function of a student's behavior.
• ABC Data collection page (printable)

Why do you need this?

There is a student in your classroom who struggles to express their wants or needs in an appropriate way. You want to alleviate the problematic behavior by discovering the behavior's function so you can find an alternate replacement behavior that serves the same function in a way that is more appropriate for the classroom.

How can I help?

What’s Included:

• Colorful pumpkin task cards

• Two types of worksheets:

  • Table format: Pumpkins are placed in clearly defined boxes, helping students match colors and shapes in an organized manner.

How to Use and Prepare:

1. Print and Laminate the colorful pumpkin task cards and corresponding worksheets with pumpkin outlines for durability.
2. Add Velcro: Attach Velcro dots to the back of the colorful pumpkins and on the worksheet. For worksheets with gray dots, place the Velcro over these dots to guide students on where to attach the pumpkins.
3. Organize: Set up the worksheets in a file folder and store the detachable pumpkins in a clear pouch or pocket for easy access and storage.
4. Use: Introduce the activity by guiding students to detach and reattach the pumpkins, explaining that there is no wrong way to complete the task. Whether used for independent work or as part of a group activity, this file folder game promotes success and engagement.

HOW TO GIVE FEEDBACK:

Go to your "My Purchases" page.Click the "Leave a review" button

Some students on my caseload are very quiet; either because they are shy, afraid, or simply don’t know what to share. Oftentimes, it can be difficult for them to open up so I created a worksheet that allows them to decide what they feel comfortable talking about. 

Because the worksheet can also serve as a coloring page, most students tend to feel comfortable in deciding their topic of conversation. Students simply color in the heart with the subject they’d like to address. 

This worksheet works well for 1:1 counseling sessions or for teachers who notice a student having a hard time. Simply pull them to the side, or place the worksheet on their desk and have them bring it to you when they are ready.

Your Purchase of Dia de los Muertos Token Board with Visuals, Rewards for Token Board Includes…

• 2 Token Board Varieties: One designed for positive target behavior and another for flexibility in reinforcement strategies.
• Over 85 Reinforcer/Reward Images: Choose from a variety of images to reinforce desired behaviors.

  • Comprehensive Token Board Directions: Step-by-step guidance for successful token board implementation.

How Does the Dia de los Muertos Token Board with Visuals, Rewards for Token Board Work?

Simply print, laminate, and cut out the boards, tokens, and images. Utilize Velcro to attach desired images to the token and choice boards for easy customization.

Harnessing Positive Behavior with the Dia de los Muertos Token Board with Visuals, Rewards for Token Board

Token Boards present a delightful and straightforward approach to fostering positive behaviors in the classroom. Based on the principle that reinforced behavior is likely to recur, these boards help in targeting specific positive behaviors, thus encouraging their continuation.

Understanding Choice Boards

Token Boards are complemented by Reinforcer Choice Boards, where both educators and students collaboratively select reinforcers. By allowing students to choose their rewards from what they find motivating, the boards actively engage them in their own learning process.

Tailoring Choices to Students' Needs

Offering fewer reinforcement options at a time can be helpful for younger students or students who have a hard time when presented with too many options.

For those who may become disinterested or for students who crave control, on the other hand, consider presenting more varied choices. This might involve larger boards or altering options to cater to different preferences. Structured choices empower students and help minimize power struggles.

Should I really reinforce a student for something they "should" be doing anyway?

Token Boards' efficacy is akin to adults receiving paychecks for work. Just as paychecks motivate adults to perform tasks not done purely for enjoyment, token boards encourage students to complete school tasks that they may not choose otherwise. These tools prove especially helpful with compliance issues and when verbal praise alone isn't sufficient.

Check out my Fall and Halloween dot sheets!!!

This is a free sampler of my What Belongs? Series and includes pages from each of the four What Belongs? resources: Holidays, Places and Habitats, Rooms of the House, and Seasons. This is a great way to try out these cut, sort, and paste worksheets to see if they're a good fit for your classroom or homeschool!

Included with this sampler are several of the Thanksgiving, Forest, Laundry Room, and Summer worksheets. I've included examples of all three types of worksheets that come in the full versions. On "What belongs in..." worksheets, students cut out the pictures and glue the ones that fit the theme in the box. On "What is missing in..." worksheets, students cut out and glue the missing pieces on the picture to create a scene that matches the theme. And on the comparison worksheets, students have to decide which theme the pictures match and glue them in the correct box.

*Please note: I've included black and white versions of the comparison and "What belongs in..." worksheets in the freebie, but both color and black and white are included in the full versions.*

The full versions of the What Belongs? units include fall, winter, spring, and summer, year long holidays like Halloween, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Ramadan, Easter, and more, plus habitats/places such as the Arctic, the ocean, the farm, and the rooms of the house such as the bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and more.

These are great for preschool or kindergarten, in special education classrooms, and in homeschools teaching various ages! I have even used the comparison worksheets for my middle elementary aged child in our homeschool as a fun holiday reprieve from his regular work!
