Personal Body Information Sheet

3/26/2016

0 Comments

 
This is a pretty self-explanatory and practical document. 

You can use this information sheet to (1) help students practice their Personal Body Information, (2) include in a personal portfolio and/or (3) include in a community folder that students can use while out in natural settings. 

In the context of this document, "Personal Body Information" consists of the following: 
  • Name
  • Height
  • Weight
  • Hair Color
  • Eye Color
  • Date of Birth
  • Shoe Size
  • Shirt Size

SO OFTEN, we see students with disabilities in high school who do not know or have access to this information. You can use this sheet in high school, for sure, but don't hesitate to use it (or something like it) early on as well! The sooner they learn this, the better prepared they will be for life as an adult. 

If you have any suggestions for things that you'd like me to add or remove, please feel free to let me know! I will do my best to provide you with a document that suits your needs in hopes of creating a brighter future for our students with different abilities.

Cooking Assessment for High School Students with Moderate to Severe Disabilities (SO EASY TO USE!)

3/7/2016

0 Comments

 
This is an easy-to-use cooking assessment that I designed with the help of my mentor and coach, Ms. Katherine Doering! She is literally my inspiration in life and my twin soul, so it was fun working on this as we were having a conversation about cooking skills! 

Basically, you can assess up to 6 students with one packet. You write their names in the boxes that are labeled "Student 1, Student 2, Student 3", etc. and then you check boxes using the code. Easy as that! 

Once you have determined who can do what in the kitchen, you will be able to make informed decisions when designing your cooking and life-skills curriculum.You might even write some IEP goals based on your assessment data.

 You will also be able to see your students' abilities side-by-side, which might help you to create groups for learning. 

Anyway, take it if you want it. If not, that's fine. More positive energy for me! :)

    A Note From The Author:

    Welcome to my blog! 
    I love to be creative and push the envelope! This blog is for teachers, parents, siblings, students, and anyone who wants to know more about "Special Education" and "Disability". I hope to inspire others to think and work outside of the box! Let's open this discussion and explore new ways of understanding people of all ability levels. You don't have to be a Special Educator to create change!
