Taskbox Time: Household Chores and Vocational 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. Taskboxes do not need to be contained in a single box. Often as students get older they still need the structure but are able to adapt to larger scale tasks. 



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