Students practice identifying when they need help, who to ask (teachers, peers, or helpers), and how to communicate that need using visual phrase cards and guided collaborative practice.

Students learn to recognize and communicate physical and emotional states (like tired, hungry, overwhelmed, or ready to learn) using simple gestures, vocalizations, or visual symbol cards.

A 4-week space explorer themed morning meeting series for middle school ESY scholars with disabilities. Led by Commander Sosnoff, it covers Mars Rover, Asteroid Navigation, Saturn Rings, and Nebula sectors with calendar ship logs, cosmic energy checks, stellar affirmations, and turn-and-talk communication prompts.

Introduces early 3-digit numbers (100-120), visual skip-counting (2s, 5s, 10s) using constellation maps, and ordering cosmic objects to build sequential logic.

Focuses on identifying double-digit numbers (10-99), representing them using ten-frames and printable base-ten icons, and writing numbers in expanded place value charts (tens and ones) with clear physical boundaries.

Covers single-digit subtraction (1-9) with cosmic countdowns, crossing-out stars or rocket fuel cells, embedded touch-points for backwards counting, and structured workspace templates.

Focuses on single-digit addition (1-9) using embedded touch-point numbers, pictorial representations of spaceships and stars, a persistent 1-20 number path, and large guided workspace boxes for physical alignment.

Week 2 focuses on mastering whole-number regrouping and multi-column carrying in the context of starship cargo inventories. Students use base-10 blocks to bundle ones into tens and tens into hundreds, bridging visual modeling directly to standard vertical algorithms.

Week 3 of the Kitchen Math Masters unit. Focuses on kitchen timers, elapsed time, adjusting cook times, understanding food label servings, and conducting a mock cafe simulation.

Week 2 of the Kitchen Math Masters unit. Focuses on money identification, estimation via the Dollar Up method, ingredient budgeting, and simple subtraction for calculating change.

Week 1 of the Kitchen Math Masters unit. Focuses on physical measurement tools, identifying whole and fractional volumes, and simple doubling/halving using visual cooking supports.

Week 4 focuses on standard algorithm decimal addition and subtraction, multi-step problem consolidation, and direct assessment of skills to confirm crew flight readiness.

Week 3 focuses on multi-step additive reasoning, decimal subtraction, and aligning coordinates using star charts and compass tools to plan flight vectors for the fleet.

Week 2 focuses on decimal addition and subtraction with and without regrouping, using visual decimal grids and standard plastic base-10 blocks to represent tenths and hundredths in solar charging grid scenarios.

Week 1 focuses on deepening place value understanding and multi-step addition of decimals and whole numbers in space grid systems. Students practice regrouping tenths and wholes, balancing battery loads, and tracking fuel payload readings.

Resources and tools for special education teachers to draft objective, data-driven, and clinically professional progress reports for student IEP goals.

Students explore the critical role of time management in the workplace, learn how to estimate task durations, examine real-world punctuality consequences, and build essential skills for professional success.

A set of parent-friendly guides translating psychoeducational test scores into positive, actionable home support roadmaps.

A comprehensive visual support bundle designed for student emotional self-regulation, featuring an interactive board, PECS-style communication cards, a data tracker, and a step-by-step implementation guide.

A comprehensive toolkit of visual ice breakers designed for high school life skills classrooms, featuring high-contrast visual choice boards, point-to-select options, structured sentence frames, and clear facilitator guidance to support diverse communication needs.

A pair of visually striking, high-contrast printable signs to organize any kitchen or classroom space. Features separate, elegant layouts for clean and dirty dishes to maintain perfect organization.

Week 4 of the ESY Wildlife Detective curriculum. Focuses on a comprehensive mixed spiral math review (NJSLS operations, place value, and measurement) through a culminating multi-day outdoor expedition challenge.

Week 3 of the ESY Wildlife Detective curriculum. Focuses on the foundations of multiplication (NJSLS 2.OA, 3.OA) through repeated addition, skip-counting animal clusters, and creating grid-based habitat arrays.

Week 2 of the ESY Wildlife Detective curriculum. Focuses on place value, estimation, and measurement (NJSLS 1.MD, 2.MD, 3.MD) by measuring nest diameters, estimating burrow lengths, and understanding animal sizes.

Week 1 of the ESY Wildlife Detective curriculum. Focuses on addition and subtraction mastery within 20 and 100 by tracking animal footprints, counting steps, and analyzing forest trail data. Scaffolded for grades 1-4.

Week 4 focuses on real-world reading comprehension, functional writing, and following multi-step directions. Students explore cosmic job charts, spaceship emergency protocols, and daily logs.

Week 3 focuses on reading comprehension and structured paragraph writing. Students learn to identify main ideas and details, track sequences, and write cohesive paragraphs using graphic organizers.
