One of the teachers for high schoolers with autism uses this compact pre-vocational assembly activity to help students practice sequencing. The little yellow containers are "party" size Play-Doh tubs which are pushed into cut-out circles on a large shoebox.
Wouldn't say it's the easiest task to do if you have difficulties with fine motor coordination and it's not anywhere near the actual size of its real-life counterparts, but it sure keeps your attention visually and is also a clever fidget toy.
Welcome to a spot to share ideas for working with students in exceptional education in public schools. Please describe activities you've successfully used with students to improve fine motor and self-help skills. Creative classroom adaptations for sensory-based and ergonomic needs are sought. Technology applications, low and high tech, are appreciated. Above all--be positive and professional in sharing your experiences and ideas. Thanks.
Where did you find these pieces?
ReplyDeleteThanks for writing. This activity was created by a teacher friend and I think she just used a mini children's "play" food set. You might look at a store like WalMart, Michael's or Ben Franklin to find a similar one. Karen
