  • Send a letter home to parents and guardians to inform them of the upcoming topic, obtain their permission that their child can take part in the instruction, and encourage them continue the conversation when their child returns home 
  • Ask your school's special education teacher for best practices to meet the needs of learners with autism and other disabilities

  • Requires copies of the printable
