Brilliant! As a speech therapist, I wish the classrooms I see were more like yours!

How do you run your first day/week and how do you teach them all of these centres?

@theautismhelper 10 месяцев назад

We start the routine on day one. I don’t teach my center and put something engaging like toys or iPads for at least a week so I can help with transitions and teaching students how to stay at the centers. We use a lot of visuals and reinforcements! Independent centers start with errorless tasks including errorless boom cards so that we can build behavior momentum. It’s all hands on deck that first week of school with the center rotations 😊.

Hi! Can we see a break down of the independent schedules and what your class schedule looks like for the day? Sorry if you have shown this already. I am new here. Thank you

@theautismhelper 9 месяцев назад

Absolutely! Michelle will work on a new video on this to be uploaded soon! Thank you for the suggestion - we are happy you are here! ❤️

Excellent video and your classroom is so bright and inviting. I see that it's elementary. What about classroom setup for middle school?

I'm exhausted by managing schedule pieces! I LOVE the schedules for your kids. Are they available on TPT? Thank you!!

@theautismhelper 28 дней назад

Made this custom for my class. I suggest using PowerPoint to set it up!

@ms.reyessuniqueclassroom6531 9 месяцев назад

How do you teach the students how to use the independent centers? What are the other students doing when you're explicitly teaching independent centers? Great space!

@theautismhelper 9 месяцев назад

Good question! We actually have a video all about this. How to Get Students Ready for Independent Work: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U-Qjg2GkBqc.html

I am a special education teacher in Turkey, I am grateful if I can find a chair where I can sit in the classroom and a chair and table for my students to sit at.

@theautismhelper 8 месяцев назад

Your students are lucky to have you! ❤️

@melissacampos7263 9 месяцев назад

Hi I love this. But what does putting the popsicle sticks in the container do for the child? And how do you know it is good for a child?

@theautismhelper 9 месяцев назад

Great question! Tasks like these are called Errorless Tasks. Errorless tasks are great for beginning learners to teach how to initiate and build independent working skills. I use these at the beginning of the school year with my students who are learning independent centers. Once they have built the independent skills and I have assessed their skills, we fade to more appropriate skills that are functional life skills. I hope that helps! 🙂

Suggestions for K-5 in self contained class?

@theautismhelper 9 месяцев назад

Yes! This set up can be done with K-5. First, pair students up with similar goals so that you can easily differentiate academics (this is why I love The Autism Helper Leveled Daily Curriculum: shop.theautismhelper.com/pages/curriculum). For independent centers, you can do non-errorless independent tasks for older students if they are at that level. The Autism Helper’s Work Task System has a great way to differentiate for such a wide spectrum of students: shop.theautismhelper.com/products/work-task-system-for-a-special-ed-classroom Also, Boom Cards can be easily differentiated for independent tasks. I set up separate classrooms on the website and assign daily. It is quick and easy for me to do differentiated tasks. shop.theautismhelper.com/collections/digital-resources Instead of a play center, you could incorporate a leisure center with various sensory related items, a bean bag chair, light table, and puzzles! I hope this helps!

Hi! What grade levels is your set up?

@theautismhelper 13 дней назад

My class is a TK-1st grade autism classroom!

@lexyfox9598 4 месяца назад

how many aides do you have? and how many students?

@lexyfox9598 4 месяца назад

we have 12 students n 2 aides .we have the same circle time set up but our students still elope. and we dont have aides to seat behind them. then centers is a hastle too because we have 3 centers n all.kids dont seat down

@theautismhelper 4 месяца назад

2 aides!

@theautismhelper 4 месяца назад

Work on FBA for students that are eloping.

@mariluhernandez6448 9 месяцев назад

You are awesome, but that’s way too many kids based on chairs in your group area and your strips for independent work.

@theautismhelper 9 месяцев назад

I don't have control over the number of students that our classroom is assigned. No matter the number, my team and I do our best to make it a safe and productive learning environment for all of them. We also have more visual schedules/chairs than students to be prepared, because we often have students added to our room throughout the year. Thanks for watching!
