2009-2010 Class Set Up

This year I was out for three months for medical reasons,  and I came in October.
The autism coach (this was her old class), she set up everything and left everything.

It was my first year in an ASD Class, and I had never worked in a self contained class. It was definitely a learning experience. I knew nothing.. I learned on the spot. Lucky me I had a great team of people guiding me!! :)

So these pics shows her set up, and some tiny changes I added once I took over.
​I love her for doing this for me... but I still ended up making MY OWN. :)

Morning Work/Whole Group/Social Skills Group/Circle Time

Depends on the time of the day.

​Each student has their own color. Helps for schedules. 

​Also I use color feet to line up, this gives each student a visual where they need to stand. You may have to switch the line, since they don't always work as you want them too.

​This is the set up for the kids... reminders of hands on hands and feet on feet. Sometimes you need to do this in other centers. Now the names I put on the top... it doesn't bother them when they write. You can either tape or use contact paper.

Transitions outside the classroom

​​Students will place their visual schedule for any activity that they transition out of the class.  

Teacher Time

I used to have 6 students... the good old days. Therefore, I had one on one teacher time.

Eating Table

We used this are for snack, lunch or parties as well. ​

Related Service Providers Centers

Since the therapist came at different times, they would use this table.

​Break Area
This is the area were students would learn to play with toys and practice social skills.
