” One of the best bundles I’ve ever purchased on TPT! These books are very effective in helping my students master these concepts!”

Adapted Prepositions Book Bundle for Special Education, Autism & Speech

Adapted Interactive Prepositions books for learning spatial concepts, positional concepts for preschool, speech therapy groups, students with autism, non verbal students and special education learners.

This set includes:
✓The “Under” Book
✓The “Next to” Book
✓The “In” Book
✓The “On” Book

Spatial concepts can be tricky but they are so important to help our students learn to follow directions and build functional vocabulary. I find focusing on one concept intensely with many repetitions and in different environments really helps. Research backs this.

Presented on a white background to avoid confusion and distraction, these simple pictures encourage vocabulary development. The book provides opportunities for multiple repetitions. A visual sentence strip at the bottom of each page allows students to follow along during group work.

Boom Cards

My students absolutely love boom cards and the cards add such a fun element to learning and practicing communication skills.

I’ve created my own boom cards for kids with complex communication needs.

Using boom cards with kids has helped create a real connection with joint engagement, laughs, smiles, requests, exploration, trial and error and genuine enjoyment.

There are even holiday appropriate cards to help your kids feel included, not matter the time of the year.
