Christy from The Autism Helper walks through finding the right curriculum level for a student with autism. Assess the child's current abilities, pick a subject like math, then check the level's unit descriptions. Math Level 1 covers number identification, shapes, and patterns. A skills matrix on their website helps match students to levels.
Hi everyone, it is Christy with The Autism Helper, and I wanted to show you about how to choose what level you're going to need for your learner. In the blog post, I talked about that you're, you're first, you're going to assess to see what your child can do, and then you're going to pick what subjects you want. So let's say you decided You definitely want to work on math, but you know, there's several levels of math and you're not sure which one you want. So let's click on Math Level 1. This is what— this is where you're going to find out what Level 1 is teaching, and this is how you're going to be able to base your decision. So it says Level 1 focuses on teaching basic skills. The skills included in this unit are So, number identification, shapes, big and little identification, simple and complex patterns, all of these things. So, no matter what subject and what level you are shopping for, it has this. And this is going to be crucial for when you, um, base that decision on what level to get because you want to make sure it's the appropriate level for your student. And I'm also going to, um, add to the post the skills matrix that is on the Autism Helpers website that will also kind of help you navigate that. Alright, thanks guys!
