Item description
Are you looking for a fun and engaging way to teach you students to understand the size of the problem? Do your students often over react and engage in big behaviors to small problems? These social skills and behavior worksheets, activities and task cards are a fun and informative way to teach your students how to identify different problem sizes and learn how to engage in appropriate actions to solve those problems.
This is a product designed to help students with autism and social skills deficits successfully differentiate between different levels of problems, as well as appropriately react in order to effectively problem. All too often I work with students whose reactions do not always match the size of the problem. Many times my students have over-reacted to a problem that is not a ‘big deal’ or that could have easily been solved by engaging in simple low level actions.
*****Activities within this packet are available as printables and digital/paperless in the form of digital google slides.****
This product allows students to think about problem sizes AND their reactions through a series of worksheets and activities as well as provide students with portable strategy cards that they can utilize in their social environments to be able to effectively problem solve and react appropriately..
In conjunction with these activities, there is an interactive game utilizing task cards where students are able to practice what they have learned with their teacher or within a small group.
