Gardening Skills for Special Education, Autism or ABA Classroom

Gardening is not only a functional life skill (which opens the door to so many others like cooking, starting up a "farm stand", etc.!), it is a great vocational skill, a recreational activity that is appropriate for people of all ages, a social activity, an opportunity to build language, generalize skills... I could go on & on! This instructional resource will provide you with the tools you need to begin teaching your students the academic, language and performance skills needed to be successful!
