Work Stations

Each day students complete independent work stations. Work station are set up in the back of our sensory room giving students a separate space outside of the classroom to complete these tasks with an aide. This also allows for small group instruction in the classroom when groups are out completing work stations.

When students enter the work station area they find their seat and check their task card for the day.


Student Task Card

Students are given three tasks each day. All task boxes are numbered and color coded. Students match the numbers on their card to the numbers on the boxes and complete one task at a time. 


For students who are not yet ready to find the correct boxes independently, they complete their 3 work boxes in a 3 drawer cart.



Work box tasks include academic, fine motor, matching/sorting and functional skills at varied levels. The objective of work stations is to teach independent work skills and task completion, so tasks are assigned at a level which allows students to complete independently. Work stations are considered pre-vocational education, beginning to work with students on simple skills they will need to be able to gain independence.
