New Product :: ADHD Complete Bundle

This year, millions more students will be diagnosed with ADHD. In fact, I’d venture to say it is one of THE most common disorders teachers and special education staff come across (second only perhaps to Learning Disabilities).

While these students often struggle with demonstrating appropriate behavior at school, ADHD often causes even more difficulties with executive functioning and organization. Often, students struggle with picking important details out of situations and stories, sequencing events, organizing information they encounter in life and in lessons, and maintaining a positive self-esteem. Usually, a student’s “hyper” behavior will decrease as they age, but these difficulties remain.

Along the way, I’ve made a whole lot of my own activities for my students. This download is a collection of a lot of these executive functioning activities. Enjoy it free here until 11/3 for all of you loyal readers!  After that, it’ll be available here. It contains:

Activities Include:

Cause & Effect Lessons

 

– Social Skills Cards: School Success Pack


– Social Skills Rubrics: School Success Pack


– Sequencing Activities


– Student Planner Pages


– Brain Breaks


– Following Directions Game & No-Print


– Focus Trading Cards

Enjoy!!

New Product :: 180 Social Skills Cards: The Ultimate Pack

Ultimate Social Skills Card Pack

This is a follow-up post to the freebie Feelings Cards I just posted recently! I created this social skills curriculum after realizing that many of the best curricula out there just break down complex social skills into small steps for students and cost upwards of $50! This download includes all 180 cue cards (with decorative card backs) for 30 different social skills from the following card packs, for much less!

Self Esteem Cover Problem Solving Cover School Success Cover

Communication Cover Feelings Cover Friendship Cover

Each skill is broken down into the mental and physical skills needed to carry out the task successfully, so that they can be taught individually. Cards include visuals for students that cannot read. A few cards are left blank to be customized if needed.

Skills Include:
– Tattling and Reporting
– Dealing with Anger
– Identifying Emotions
– Apologizing
– Setting a Goal
– Dealing with Peer Pressure
– Following Directions
– Choosing Friends
– Starting a Conversation

and 21 more!

As a special thank you to all of you followers, get it here free for the next week! After that, it’ll be available on my TpT store 🙂

Fun Freebie :: Social Skills Cards: Feelings Pack

Feelings Cover

Many social skills curricula take basic social skills and break them into small steps for students to learn individually. Unfortunately, many of those are quite expensive and if your school is anything like mine, administrators aren’t flooding your offices with money to spend. So, I made my own! This pack is available for free on TeacherspayTeachers and contains skill cards for 5 crucial empathy and emotional regulation skills (30 cards in all with decorative card backs):

1. Expressing Your Feelings
2. Dealing with Stress
3. Dealing with Anger
4. Identifying Others’ Feelings
5. Responding to Others’ Negative Feelings

Each skill is broken down into the mental and physical skills needed to carry out the task successfully, so that they can be taught individually. Cards include visuals for students that cannot read. I use these cards with almost all my social skills groups, but I’ve noticed they work especially well for students with Autism!

If you’re interested, I also have 5 other packs available as well, so check out my store and save yourself tons of plan time!
