3. Add strips of Velcro soft roll cut into about 8â pieces and stick them onto each plastic divider page.
4. Print and laminate your chosen PECS to add to your personalized book. The book Iâm creating is starting with food items to have the student learn to identify and request foods which is a primary reinforcer.
5. Add other ABA style pictures such as a waiting hand task, yes/no pointing pages, to do/all done task pages and whatever you feel your child needs to learn such as requesting using âI wantâŠâ, â I feelâŠâ etc.
âš Parents: If youâd like me to make you a book, please feel free to send me a message. Iâll send you the materials you need to buy and we can discuss the contents and price.
