  Building Sensory Friendly Classrooms to Support Problem Behaviors
- Available October 2010

by Rebecca Moyes

Rebecca Moyes, a teacher, author, renowned lecturer, and mother of a child with Asperger's Syndrome, helps walk any regular education or special education teacher through the process of setting up a sensory‑friendly classroom in this easy to use book.

This is currently the only book that discusses the importance of data‑driven strategies, and then helps teachers implement them! Sensory integration disorder often presents as a behavioral problem; thus, although it’s an internal state, it has to be addressed based on what observable behaviors are seen in the child. Rebecca is able to take the data and worry out how to make any student's, (and teacher's!), life easier.

  How Do I Teach This Kid?
Visual Work Tasks for Beginning Learners on the Autism Spectrum

by Kimberly A. Henry

First Runner-Up in the 2006 Writer’s Notes Book Awards, this book utilizes the strengths of children with autism spectrum dsorder to help them develop new skills. Tasks are visually oriented and consistent, and expectations are clear. Children learn motor, matching, sorting, reading, writing, and math skills by using easy-to-make “task boxes.” Tasks include pushing items through small openings (children love the “resistance” it takes to push them through); matching simple, identical pictures or words; and sorting objects by color, size, or shape. Ideas are plentiful, and materials colorful. Children love the repetitive nature of the “tasks,” which help them learn to work independently! Sample data sheets are included.
