Structured Teaching (ASD Series with Kim Howard)
October 10th at Morehead Convention Center

Structured teaching in preschool involves creating a predictable, organized learning environment with clear routines and visual supports to enhance learning and independence for all students, particularly those with autism. This approach focuses on:
physical organization
visual schedules
work systems
routines
task organization
One of the awesome features of structured teaching is “ShoeBox Tasks” or structured tasks.
Shoe box tasks can be adapted for many needs. My favorite tasks for preschool age is the inclusion of calming tasks & structured play!
