At this time, many parents and teachers are looking for activities and lessons for their students who are now at home and being instructed by parents. Although some families can use apps or print off lessons, not all families can.  AutismClassroom.com has created a 3-week long set of ideas for activities for teens with developmental disabilities and autism.  Many make use of everyday objects that are found at home. Activity ideas include executive functioning skills, reading, language, visual and performing arts, social skills, and chores. It is not easy to develop general plans for teens because their ability levels vary so much and each individual is so different. The goal is to spark ideas for families when deciding what to teach.
