As our kids head back to school, we thought it would be helpful to share our template for a task completion chart. Task completion charts help kids visualize what they need to be accomplishing, when they’ve completed the task, and how close they are to being rewarded for it.
Smarty, short for smart art, is a monthly series showing the ways in which you can use art to bond with your child while practicing skills they are working on in therapy. Its real life application of lessons they are learning. This segment is sponsored by www.SkillsforAutism.com
