Description
Looking for matching file folders that work the moment you pull them out of the laminator? This bundle pulls together three of my most-used matching sets — colors, visual discrimination, and shapes — so you can stock your task boxes and independent work systems without hunting down resources one at a time.
Each set is designed for early learners and students with autism who benefit from clear, visual tasks with a defined beginning and end. Just print, laminate, add Velcro, and go.
