Following my previous post on Function Feature Class (FFC) which provided a free list of examples comprising of the different FFCs which can be found here, I have decided to provide some free data sheets for instructors to test learners in this post. A common question people ask would be “why collect data?“. It is… Continue reading Function Feature Class (Data Sheets)

Mathematics (Addition)
Many parents tend to want to target academic skills such as addition with their child. However, before teaching addition, there is a need to ensure that the learner has met the necessary prerequisite skills (i.e. identifying numbers, counting objects, matching number to quantity, etc.). Should the learner meet the prerequisite skills, we can look at… Continue reading Mathematics (Addition)
Motivating Operation (MO)
Learning more about motivating operation (MO) is valuable for an instructor/parent to know. By understanding the underlaying concepts of MO, this helps the instructor/parent to understand why some behaviours might occur, and helps them to utilise reinforcers more effectively for the learner. What is Motivating Operation (MO)?According to Cooper, Heron, and Heward (2007), a motivating… Continue reading Motivating Operation (MO)

Receptive Body PartsIn order to teach this skills, you can get the child to receptively identify body parts on themselves (i.e.… Continue reading Body Parts
Mathematics (Number to Quantity)
As a learner is able to count the number of given objects/ pictures independently (i.e. “how many?” – “three bears”) and identify numbers (i.e. “touch 5”, “give me 3”) independently, there is a need to ensure that they learn the relation between the quantity and the number. A way to do this would be to… Continue reading Mathematics (Number to Quantity)
Environmental Modifications – Setting Up A Successful Learning Environment
Due to Covid-19, many countries have taken measures to stop the spread. Some of these measures include instructing their employees to work from home, and allowing children to study from home. A way to help with the successful transition of working and/or studying from home can be through doing some environmental modifications. Research has shown… Continue reading Environmental Modifications – Setting Up A Successful Learning Environment
Tracing (Uppercase Letters)
In addition to the previous free resource for tracing lines, curves, and shapes which can be found here,please feel free to download some uppercase letters tracing worksheets for your children to work on as needed. One way to teach tracing letters would be to get the child to trace the uppercase letter using their fingers… Continue reading Tracing (Uppercase Letters)
Tracing (Lines, Curves, Shapes)
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, majority of the people around the world are being told to stay home to stop the spread. For parents and educators around the world, please feel free to download some tracing worksheets (i.e. tracing lines, tracing curves, tracing shapes) for your children to work on as needed. Personally, I tend… Continue reading Tracing (Lines, Curves, Shapes)
Pronouns (He, She, His, Her)
A common issue parents and educators face is teaching pronouns (i.e. he, she, it, his, her, my, your, we, they, me, you, etc.). In today’s post, we will look at different ways to teach pronouns – specifically he, she, his, and her. Similar with other programs, you can teach pronouns utilising DTT (Discrete trial teaching)… Continue reading Pronouns (He, She, His, Her)
Prepositions
Teaching prepositions is a goal that can be found in various assessments (i.e. ABLLS-R, VB-MAPP). This skill teaches the client locations in comparison to other objects and aids them to understand and provide detailed instructions to others in future. Examples of prepositions include: on, under, beside, in front, behind, inside, between, etc. You can teach… Continue reading Prepositions
