Taskbox Time: Fine Motor Tasks at Home


Taskboxes are a great way to organize work tasks for individuals who need predictability and structure. Typically taskboxes should be mastered work tasks that students are capable of completing independently. They should have a clear beginning and end and should only contain the necessary items to do that task. 



We know with the shift to remote learning it may be hard to share classroom taskboxes with families so today's Taskbox Time provides some ideas for fine motor taskboxes using common household items:
