All too often children with autism spectrum disorders and related developmental disabilities are left to attempt traditional pencil-and-paper tasks even when they are either incapable of doing the work or do not see the meaning of it. Teachers often are not quite sure how to present academic materials in a hands-on approach. Many students with special needs learn best using a multi-modal approach in learning. They require movement or sensory input while processing and learning new information. The following books in this series help lay a foundation for that learning.
Tasks Galore (for pre-k, elementary, and students needing beginning steps) emphasizes developing tasks based on individualization, structure, organization, clarity, movement, sensory input, and through the use of the students' strengths and interests. It presents task ideas within the following categories:
1. Fine Motor Skills: Put in, assembly, pre-writing, writing, and computer skills.
2. Readiness: Color concepts, matching and sorting skills.
3. Language Arts: Book, print and phonemic awareness, decoding and word recognition, comprehension, and vocabualary.
4. Math: Number sense, numeration, and numerical operations, spatial sense, measurement, patterns, relationships, and functions.
5. Reasoning: Concepts as they relate to the student's environment: exploring materials, making predictions, generating attributes, and using common objects.
6. Play: Art, music, manipulatives, games, and independent play.
