In this brief tutorial, Gina from The Autism Helper demonstrates how to use movable dividing screens to create flexible classroom zones for circle time and center activities. She explains how to pull out a divider to form a gate for circle time, close it when extra support is needed, and then easily reconfigure the space by moving the screens for center time, allowing children to transition smoothly between activities. The video emphasizes that the setup can be adapted to each teacher’s room and offers a practical, low‑resource solution for managing busy classrooms.

Hi everyone, this is Gina from The Autism Helper. I wanted to show you, um, if you don't have a lot of help in your room but your kids are really busy, there's a way you can restructure your room. Of course, my room is going to be different from yours, but I'll just show you how we can pull out dividers for circle time. So obviously it's really open right now, um, but when my kids come in here for circle time, I can easily pull this divider out and then this one acts as a gate. And we can close in circle time if we need more help. Okay, and then it's easy to put back when we want to exit. And then when it's time for centers, this is always closed, but when it's time for centers, I can easily pull this back and push this in and then move this screen out so that kiddos can play in centers. That's it.
