Social Skills: Perspective Taking Through Optical Illusions
I created this short lesson on perspective taking for a group of boys who have ASD. Teaching social skills can be challenging, especially for populations that require very concrete examples. Optical illusions provide a concrete example of taking another perspective. At times taking another perspective can be difficult but with time and through politely asking questions, we can see another person's point of view. My boys had a great time with this activity and were required to listen to each othe

Test Taking Strategies / Follow Directions Prank/Fake Quiz
This quiz is a fun and funny way to get students to realize they need to pay attention to directions.
There is a list of numerous steps to complete, which can actually be fun for students. HOWEVER, the first step says to "read all directions before continuing" and the last step says "only do..." so most students mess this up and do all the steps as they go along. Then you can give them the lesson at the end :)
