Past Event Cards

Many students with ASD have difficulty relating past events to each other. To help students communicate about their day, past event cards can be used. This way, students will be able to share events from their day with their families. They can also be used in school, as well as other places where communication is desired.

For example, a student may have a past event card that says:

Today I read                                                            ,

and learned about                                                               in school.

Students can also communicate their day by circling things that they did that day on a card before leaving school for the day. This can be something that is attached to their homework book or a journal they may have. It could look like this: 

Today I:

Read a book

Drew a picture

Used the computer or iPad

Worked with a friend

Did a science experiment

Learned about our country

Went to a special: Art, Gym, Library, Music

Made a craft
