Dylan's Autism Recovery: All About Me Activities

This weekend I am attempting to catalog all the items we use in our ABA program (not including reproduceables). I am doing this so I can redo our data sheets so that activities are grouped according to learning goals. I want to be sure that each goal is covered several times per day and having the data organized in this way will easily allow me to be sure that is being done.

Since parents of a newly diagnosed child often don't have any idea what a program looks like, I figured since I am doing this anyway I'd copy it over here on the blog. No two programs are going to look the same because no two kids are the same. But at least with this you can get an inside peek into how another family is doing it. So please just take what you can from it and forget the rest ;)
