Special education resources: sheets, cards, goals and stories

These sheets are practice and teaching aids for a teacher, therapist or family to use with a child they know. They do not test, diagnose or label anyone, and they are not therapy. Follow your child's team for goals and supports.

Nothing you choose is sent to us, and there is no box for a name, a diagnosis or any detail about a child. Write the name on the printed page by hand. Your menu choices stay in this browser, and a share link carries them, never a child's details. No sign-in, no ads, no AI.

Thinking skills

• Attention, memory and thinking-skill sheets: Printable sheets that practice attention, memory, sequencing, processing speed and visual processing at three levels, made new each time, with answer keys. Nothing to sign in to, and nothing about a child is stored.

Hands and motor skills

• Fine motor sheets: pre-writing strokes, cutting and tracing paths: Printable fine motor practice: pre-writing strokes, scissor-cutting lines, tracing paths and hand-strengthening cards, made new each time at three levels, for a teacher, parent or therapist to use.

Speech and language

• Speech sound picture cards for practice: Free printable picture cards for practicing speech sounds at the start of words, by sound, with a word list and a practice sheet. For a speech-language pathologist, teacher or family.
• Who, what, where, when and why question cards: Printable cards that practice answering who, what, where, when and why questions about short pictured scenes, with a sheet for the adult to mark.
• Core word communication board: A printable core word board of the most-used words, colored by kind of word, in three sizes, with a how-to-model page for adults.

Visual supports

• First-then board: A first-then board you can print or show on a screen: pick two pictures, and the child sees what comes first and what comes next.
• Visual schedule cards with pictures: Pick the parts of the day and print picture cards for a visual schedule strip, with a done pocket, in three card sizes.
• Request and choice cards: I want, I need, I feel: Printable cards a child can point to or hand over: I want, I need a break, help, more, all done, and how I feel. Pictures and words, in three sizes.

Life skills and moving up

• Life skills checklists for K to 8: Printable checklists of everyday skills by age, from washing hands to packing a bag to using a bus, to tick off at home or school. No names, no scores.
• Community and safety sign cards: Printable cards of the signs and words children meet in town, such as stop, exit, restroom and caution, with a matching game and a sheet to circle the sign.

Goals, plans and stories

• IEP goal helper: draft SMART goal wordings: Pick an area, a grade and a skill and get five draft goal wordings with condition, behavior, criterion, timeline and how to measure. A drafting aid for the IEP team, with no names and no AI.
• Social story maker: free stories to read and print: Short, kind social stories for waiting, transitions, fire drills, a substitute, sharing, asking for help and loud noises. Read page by page or print picture cards. No AI, nothing sent.
• Behavior plan starter and ABC data sheet: A simple positive behavior support template: observable target behavior, likely function, prevention, a replacement skill, response and data, with a one-page print and a blank ABC data sheet.
• Calm-down breathing for the board: One big silent bubble for the whole class: it grows as everyone breathes in and shrinks as they breathe out. Three patterns, then a calm brain break.
• Feelings check-in for kids: A child taps the face that is like them and breathes with a growing bubble if they want to. No typing, nothing leaves the device, and it says to tell a grown-up they trust.
