Product Description
Looking for simple, engaging ways to build visual discrimination skills in your early learners? This set of file folder activities for autism is designed with easy-to-follow tasks that support independent work and help students stay focused. Whether you’re working with preschoolers or students in special education, these materials make it easier to target matching and attention to detail without a lot of prep.
The task boxes include file folder activities, matching mats, and task cards that prompt students to notice patterns, sequence, and subtle differences—like the design on a caterpillar or the order of train cars. These activities are ideal for independent work systems or centers and offer meaningful practice without overwhelming your students.
This set of task boxes for special education includes the following items:
- 8 File Folders Activities for Autism (or 16 if divided) where students match by details
- 10 matching train mats (or 5 file folders) in which students pick out the series of train cars
- 20 Matching Task Cards or Clip Cards in which students find the identical item based on a few differences in the item
These tasks are great for preschool matching or kindergarten center work, morning work, special education independent work systems or structured work systems for students with Autism.
Plus, they are PERFECT for any time that students need to be engaged on their own. I often use them during instruction to have students practice skills for generalization and maintenance while I work with another student in a small group.
This visual discrimination resource provides you with a variety of tasks for early childhood centers, special education independent work stations and task boxes for early elementary ages to keep them engaged and practicing attention to detail. These task boxes are also PERFECT for preschool matching.
These task boxes and file folder activities are also specifically geared toward use with independent work systems with these features:
✅Each task has a clear beginning and end.
✅Tasks are designed (with the help of Velcro) to stay together when the student finishes and puts them in the finished basket.
✅They are easily adapted to individual needs.
✅They are visually clear and designed to be simple
✅They were designed to be highly visually engaging and capitalize on the visual discrimination skills that are often a strength for students with autism.
