This page was made for someone we had difficulties with when taking him to the park. He is in High School and has autism and had quite challenging behaviour problems but he was quite intelligent and had quite a high level of understanding. We knew that he really enjoyed our class shop where he could buy his favourite foods to eat (who wouldn’t enjoy that?). So we decided to reward him for each behaviour that he follows when going to the park, this included, holding hands, feet on the floor (because he loved to climb), hands to himself and listening to the teacher. We rewarded him with a card which he puts on the chart for each rule that he followed and when we got back to school he would exchange that for real money to use to buy things at our class shop. This really worked for him, and he was as good as gold every time we took him to the park (on most occasions anyway).

He also learnt very quickly that each coin has a value and is worth more than the other.

This resource is made for Australian money but you can edit it by taking photos of money used in your country and pasting it over the Australian coins.

* Have something to share? You too can be rewarded. Learn how.

This page is created because of my students fighting over the computer. This helps students to understand about taking turns. It also teaches position for maths. What I would do is have students photos laminated and velcroed and put their photos in the position of their turn on the computer. Once the student has finished, I would take it off and put their photo either at the end of the line or simply just say your turn is finished. I would also have the sand timer on so that the student can see it visually when their turn is over.

This is  just a simple star chart that I have used for many different students to manage his/her behaviour, it is to be laminated and the stars cut out. The reward can be something you choose or something the child chooses. When the child reaches 3 stars, the child will be rewarded.

I have tried many different strategies to manage children's behaviour, and positive reinforcement always works better than negative consequences. A child needs to learn that he/she will benefit by following rules, alot of children do not get that. This star chart can be changed to 5 stars as the child's behaviour improves. The chart can be slowly faded away simply by gradually increasing the number of stars as the child's behaviour improves. If you require charts with more stars, please message me.

This is a checklist for the steps to tying shoes. You can use it to document incremental progress towards independance on this life skill. Works great and parents like it. User friendly. Hints: 1. Try using the dual color laces with the kids so that they can discriminate which step goes with which lace. Don't have/can't afford dual color laces? Use a permanent marker on white ones. 2. Use a model set of shoes on the table (toe faced away from the students like their foot will be) before trying to do on their own shoes. Transfer to their own shoes ONLY when motor memory is automated!

 This page will teach the child to learn his/her phone number in a fun way. Most children enjoy Bingo especially if they win a prize. The child will have a copy of each of the numbers underneath the card to get ready for matching. As I select the number from a hat I would usually say ‘This number is ____, What is this number? (the student responds), Can you find the number____, and match it to the number ____.  After the child matches all the numbers, he/she will say Bingo! I would then give him/her a pretend phone to dial and phone home. I would pretend to pick up the phone and have a little conversation. This will also encourage talk over the phone. Most children enjoy the phone part!
