We are so glad you are joining us! Danielle, a former Special Education Teacher now Special Education Administrator and Nicole, former Paraprofessional now Behavior Consultant, have been creating teaching resources for over 15 years. Working together in a self-contained classroom K-3, we created many useful resources geared toward learners with autism and other disabilities.

Our materials are simple and to the point. We try our best not to make our visuals too fancy (even though they are prettier that way) so that we can eliminate possible distractions for our learners. Discrete Trial Instruction was a big part of our classroom. We know the daunting task of creating visuals and DTI books for several students at the beginning of the school year and maintaining them! Our printable materials are a short cut for preparing the materials children need at home and/or school without the time constraints that often come with creating materials from scratch. For those of you not familiar with DTI, or feeling that DTI isn’t necessary for your learners, have no fear! The materials are perfect for all visual learners and for those who need multiple practice opportunities!

As we transitioned from teacher and para into our new roles as Administrator, Behavior Consultant and parent with a child with special needs, our perspective for the materials needed in school and home settings broadened. This has been a huge benefit to what we offer. Everything we created in the past and continue to create, comes from direct and personal knowledge of a need inspired by a child, educator or parent. We know that if the need was there for one child, there are other children out there that have the same or a similar needs. Our goal is make a difference, one child, one educator or one parent at a time because we have been there. We know how difficult it can be to teach new skills to children that require repetitive teaching practices and visually presented material. We also know, first hand, that significant progress can be made when we find or create materials that bridge the comprehension gap for students, children and adults!

All resources are printable and available at Teachers Pay Teachers for immediate download.
