New Product :: Sequencing Activities for ADHD, Autism, or Executive Functioning

Many students struggle with executive function skills – things like prioritizing, focusing, organizing, completing tasks, or understanding cause and effect.

These sequencing activities provide an opportunity for students to improve their executive functioning or life skills and are great for kids with ADHD, Autism, or Cognitive Impairments. Simply mix up the steps for each situation and have the student put them into the correct order. Each card includes words and pictures for readers or nonreaders and is included in full color and printer-friendly black and white!

To adjust the level of difficulty, use fewer or more steps for each situation.

Cards can also used as visual prompts. Simply post them in a convenient location to remind students how to perform each task independently.

Situations include:  

– Crossing the street
– Getting ready for bed
– Making toast
– Brushing teeth
– Raking leaves
– Making lemonade
– Building a sand castle
– Flying a kite
– Packing a lunch
– Getting ready for school
– Washing hands
– Building a snowman


– Growing a plant
– Making a banana split


– Catching a fish


– Dressing for rain

New Product :: Self-Esteem “All About Me” Tab Book

I’m really excited to share this new product with you because teaching social-emotional skills doesn’t have to be difficult! With Tab Books, students’ drawings, writing, and graphic organizers come together to create a customized book they can be proud of and use a reference whenever they need reminders! Great on their own or as part of an Interactive Notebook, Tab Books are a tried and true way to get your students excited about learning! I have my students for 30 minutes sessions and they usually take 2-3 sessions to complete.

This book helps students improve their self-esteem and self-concept by learning and discussing the things that make them unique.

The best part? Print and go. No fancy supplies or prep needed!




I have several other tab books and I’m planning to add more in the future, so check back often for new ones! Any topics you’d like to see? Leave them in the comments!

New Product :: Social Skills Trading Cards

If there’s one thing I know about my students it’s that they LOVE trading cards – sports cards, cards from their favorite television show, any kind of cards. AND they’ve memorized virtually every statistic possible about their given characters or sports star. However, they don’t love learning every detail about social skills quite as much, until I showed them these!

These cards are designed to look like their other favorite cards, but highlight various strategies for teaching students to interact with others appropriately and improve relationships. They’re great for students who have been diagnosed with Autism or other social difficulties. Each card also features an interactive activity or technique to help students be successful.

These cards are great for activities (ideas below), or can be displayed as posters or held together on a ring for students to keep with them as a reminder.

Cards are presented in full-page (8.5″ x 11″) and trading card (2.5″ x 3.5″) size!

Activity Suggestions:
– “Go Fish” or “Matching,”: Print 2 or 4 sets and play as usual.
– “War”: Print 3-4 sets. Play as usual – the card with the highest star difficulty wins.
– “Spoons”: Print 4 sets. Play as usual.
– Have students draw 3 cards. Role play one of the 3 choices.
– Charades: Students draw a strategy to act out while others guess.
