Here is an Environmental Checklist that you can use to ensure that you have the necessary supports in your classroom. We will check with classrooms to make sure that they have these supports in place.  

✨ What is Boardmaker?

Boardmaker is a visual support tool that allows us to:

• 📚 Create visual supports

• ⏰ Create daily schedules & routines

• 💬 Design social stories for behavior & social skills

This folder has Boardmaker tutorials and a video recording of our Boardmaker training. 

You will need to make sure that you have downloaded the latest version of Boardmaker 7 Editor. If you have trouble downloading Boardmaker on your desktop, please email itsupport@bcsd.com. 

If you need a login, please email Ashley Pelbath or Jennifer Othart. 

Here is a Communication book that you can print and laminate for students who benefit from visual supports to communicate. Even students who are verbal can benefit from communication icons (e.g., students who may be dysregulated and have difficulty communicating their wants/needs). Included are also token boards and First/Then boards. 

The Behavior Expectations should be posted in the classroom and reviewed throughout the day. They can also be posted on small groups tables and on individual student desks. 

These are examples of how teachers use individual schedules for students in their classrooms 

A large classroom visual schedule posted at the front of your classroom is beneficial for your students. Please include the time that each activity takes as well.

This is a tutorial on how to create a social story for your students. Because social stories should be individualized for each person, it is best to create one that fits the needs and communication level of your student. When using AI, please do not use student pictures or student-identifying information.

This folder has behavior resources to support you in the classroom.

Here is a link to a folder of Behavior Think Sheets. These sheets are beneficial in reviewing a behavior with a student, what they can do differently next time, and is a good reflection tool on self-regulation and empathy for others.  

Behavior Fundamentals--addressing individual behaviors and classroom management

Create a binder of your paraprofessional expectations and review with your paras. This is also a great tool for any paras substituting in your class to let them know about your classroom procedures and roles.

These are instructions on how to give the KTEA for the academic assessment portion of a Triennial. The KTEA is given for grades K-8 for students in Autism or SH. The KTEA cannot be administered until an SE-6 has been signed by the parent (the psychologist gives this to the parent and sends an email to the team when it has been signed). When the SE-6 has been signed, all team members have 60 days to complete an assessment to determine continued eligibility of services. Email the KTEA report to the psychologist. 

This is a guide on how to fill out progress reports on SIRAS. Progress reports are to be filled out and given to parents quarterly.
