Skeletal System unit contains 188 pages and 52 google slides of material specifically designed for students with special learning needs, especially autism who are in middle and high school.

This unit on the Skeletal System addresses the characteristics of this system in a simplified but rigorous way for students with diverse learning needs to make meaningful and authentic connections to the material. There are many opportunities for students to engage in repeated information on the Skeletal System. This repetition encourages a true understanding of all the different types of bones and what they do.

In addition, many of the Skeletal System activities and assessments include more than one version, suggestions for differentiation, and options for presentation.

Finally, there is a social story and activity on keeping your bones healthy that helps make more personal connections.

✩✩✩This unit contains digital versions of printable activities. There are 52 slides (including a differentiated set) and movie versions of both books.

See the preview for a more detailed look at the contents.

Much of what I have learned about curriculum development is incorporated in these units. For example, do not be afraid of repetition. It is critical that students with significant disabilities get to experience material over several days to be able to fully assimilate what is being taught. Also, adding visual supports to your printables and class activities helps students be able to pay more attention to the content you are presenting rather than the mechanics of what is expected. Finally, ask questions. Good questions!! Regardless of the material, if we can ask good questions it will push students to think more deeply than before.

As always please take a moment to leave feedback or post any questions you may have. 

I am currently developing more units, and any feedback I get helps me make improvements in the future. Plus, it just means a lot to me.
