⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sarah P. says, "One of my school's specials teachers noted that a couple of my students needed practice with listening to and following directions. This cross-curricular resource was perfect for meeting the goal! I used it during the extra 20 minute block we have twice a week because of no second specials classes."
