Sasha from theautismhelper.com shows the Personal Info Mega Pack Level 2, a downloadable resource with worksheets and individualized cards. Students match their photo to personal-info questions and write answers with dry-erase markers on laminated cards for daily practice. The pack targets learners with some verbal ability who need visual supports.
Hi, this is Sasha from theautismhelper.com, and this is a product preview of my Personal Info Mega Pack Level 2. So when you got down— you'll download, you'll get a zip file, which is basically just two files compressed. So it'll say zip, you'll click on it, and it'll open this little file that has the two different products. So it's the PDF version that is not editable, that you can just use a permanent marker to add in that student's personal info, and then the editable version on PowerPoint. So the editable one on PowerPoint, obviously you can type in all the info. There's, you know, I'll show you, but there's directions on how to do it. And then this version, if you don't feel like being techy and just kind of want to use a marker, no problem. If you are nervous about the editing component, please don't be. I am happy to help you. You can email me your information. I'm happy to do it for you. I really, really love this product, and I really think this is so, so important for our kids to work on. So please don't let the tech aspects be a barrier because I'm really happy to help you get this set up for your kids. So I'm gonna go through the non-editable, the PDF. So it kind of gives you an idea of what's included. If you looked at my Level 1 or Level 3, these sets really complement each other nicely. If you have, you know, a variety of levels in one group, you can easily use the different levels kind of together because they're focusing on a lot of the same concepts. So if you checked out the Level 1, all of those multiple choice visual response options. Now we just have a single card because this is kind of a little bit more advanced. So we're looking at learners that maybe have some verbal skills but need some type of prompting. And these, when we talk about WH questions, these questions are all really similar. They all sound similar even. So having that visual cue of, you know, a picture of a mom with what's your mom's name, or do you wear glasses by the glasses question, can be really helpful. These I think are great for kids to ask each other. I just laminated them and cut them out, put them on rings to bring the two classrooms I'm working in right now, and that's been working really well as part of their like morning circle or morning meeting. So this next book is Personal Info Basics. So this kind of just goes over a little bit of basic information. You don't have to edit this one. This works for all kids, so I'm gonna show you. They match what gender they are, what age they are, and we're talking age in like these broader terms: baby, kid, teen, or adult. What color hair do you have? What color eyes do you have? Are you tall or short? Are you left-handed or right-handed? So here's all the pieces and the storage page. So students will move over the correct answer. So this is a great one because it's kind of general and you can use it with all kids. So this is for sure a great one to use in a group, um, have kids ask each other. I think this would be really fun. Now this one is the one you're going to individualize for your students. If you keep watching, I'm going to add some photos of the finished products of these at the end. So you can edit this in the editable version, or you can just use a marker. I think it doesn't need to look perfect and cutesy and whatever. Using a markers just fine and probably a lot easier if you want to make these for multiple students. I think this would be ideal to have one for each kid. You could do this in centers with a para and circle time, like I said, but I think this would be really great to have one for each. So you put their photo on the front. So each page has 2 different questions and they're going to match a piece. So I'm going to scroll down a second, show you how the pieces look. So here's all the pieces. Now you could just print this and just with a marker write in the answers and one non-example and then store them on this page and you'll be done and perfect, and it really will not take that long. So students will move over the picture, the piece. So my first name is— they'll find the piece of Michael, move it over here. And then the part that I love, love, love about this book is the writing part. So for every answer, they're going to write with a dry erase marker. They're gonna copy this. So when they write match Michael, then they're gonna write Michael. When they move over Smith, they're gonna write Smith. They live in Chicago, they're gonna write Chicago. The state is Illinois, I write Illinois. So when you laminate these, and if you have a dry erase marker, you can wipe off dry erase marker off laminate really, really easily. If it's a stickier, if it's a more stubborn dry erase marker, use hand sanitizer, works really well. Magic Erasers work really well. But you should have no problem wiping this off. I think this would be awesome to do every single day. This information is so important. But I love this writing component tied in because that's something we don't normally do with adapted books. I just really, really love it. So there's a lot of options. They're gonna have to really discriminate and make sure they know the right answers. Here's a few other different varieties of worksheets with some visual cues. This one has a little bit of a model on the top so you could put in their info and they can copy and write, and then writing on their own. So a little bit of scaffolded work there. So now I'm going to show you some pictures of the finished product.
