I made this set of activities based on working with my students. Kids with autism can absolutely master these concepts! This activity kit is for students who have some verbal skills, but I'm working on one for non-verbal students that could easily be used in schools or in ABA programs.
Introduce basic concepts about electricity and circuits with this printable, hands-on activity set. Includes background info for teachers, so you can just print the pages and start the lessons with almost no prep! You can also just show the pages on a tablet, computer or phone screen. Each page has everything on it that you need to say and do with your student.
To maximize your use of this unit, you will want to get an inexpensive circuits kit for kids (like the one pictured below) for lesson 5, where you do some hands-on building. I got this kit for around $20 from Amazon.com, and I have been using it for many months! Best $20 I have ever spent in my teaching career.
