Sasha from theautismhelper.com shows Interactive Receptive Language Tasks, laminated visual pieces that help assess and practice receptive language in verbal and nonverbal children.

Hi, this is Sasha from theautismhelper.com, and this is a product preview of my interactive receptive language tasks, great for kids who are verbal or nonverbal. I think sometimes we forget just because kids are verbal that they have great receptive language skills, so they're understanding what we say to them, but so often these kids lack that skill as well. So I posted a picture of these resources a while back. The original ones are a part of my ABLES resource kit, the Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills. If you're looking for a great assessment for your kids, I highly recommend checking it out. So this is a small component and everyone kept asking where this was from and wanted more of these, which was a great idea because I am super excited to have these in my classroom. I just printed and laminated them myself and can't wait to have them near my direct instruction area for those few minutes of downtime. A lot of my kids need to work on receptive language skills, so this is going to be perfect. Um, so basically the basic format is going to be set up like this. So you can see the different visuals here. They're interactive pieces that you can move around. A lot of our kids memorize the answers on things, so it's really key to have pieces that are removable. So you can switch around the answers, and there's a ton of different questions in here, so your kids won't memorize exactly what you're asking them. You can set them like this on rings, you can keep them in a binder, whatever kind of is easiest for you. So each one will have the hint, and then here are the pieces above. So find the small red circle, the large blue circle, and here are all the pieces. Then it gets kind of more complicated, you know, finding the clothes you wear on your feet or the clothes you wear on your hands. And again, here are the picture options. So students will have to identify between the clothing options which are the ones they wear on their hands or which is the brown animal with fur. So they're items that are all similar. They're all clothing items. They just have to identify that on the feet versus on the hands. So I'll give you kind of a brief rundown of everything that's included. Um, things you eat with a fork, a black insect that does not fly, a blue animal that flies. So really attending to all the cues in here. Which can be kind of tricky for some of our kids. Here's all the different pictures and different clues. So there's a lot. So this— I'm gonna put these into 3 different sets to have kind of throughout my classroom and kind of alternate. So again, this was a product preview of my Interactive Receptive Language Tasks by theautismhelper.com.
