Picture sequences are a powerful tool for teaching life skills, social emotional situations, and problem solving.

What is a picture sequence? ๐Ÿค”

๐Ÿ“ทPicture sequences refer to a series of real images, stock photos, drawings, or even clip art that breaks down a task, situation, or life skill with each step. The user can put the images in order to work on tasks by forward- or backward-chaining. This tool can incorporate multiple endings and challenges problem solving as well as coping strategies.

Just in time for the new school year! You don't need a giant budget or fancy tools to make your classroom more inclusive. Intentional, simple changes can completely transform the learning experience for all students, not just those with identified needs. Inclusion isnโ€™t complicated. Itโ€™s compassion made visible with effective yet inexpensive & simple changes!

Children with ADHD often face challenges in traditional classroom settingsโ€”not because they lack ability, but because they process information and respond to their environment differently.

โœ… Preferential seating: reduces distractions and supports attention
โœ… Chunking assignments: breaks down tasks to prevent overwhelm
โœ… Extra time: supports attention and processing speed
โœ… Fidget toys: help with focus and self-regulation
โœ… Visual schedules/reminders: improve memory and task management
โœ… Choice boards: promote engagement and autonomy
โœ… Brain and movement breaks: manage energy and improve focus
โœ… Positive reinforcement: encourages desired behavior
โœ… Self-monitoring strategies: build awareness and responsibility
