• Mini-task schedules: (e.g., getting dressed, taking a bath/shower; brushing teeth, making a snack, completing their schoolwork, getting ready for bed, etc.)

• Choice boards: (e.g., choices for foods/drinks, etc.; school work completion; activities to do during breaks from school work; leisure/recreation activities; self-regulation strategies, etc.)

• Positive Behavior Supports: reinforcement cards; If/Then or First/Then; behavior rules cards, etc.
