Behavior & Emotions Tasks | 15 Independent Work Tasks for Special Education & Autism Classrooms

The ultimate independent work tasks and clip card set for teaching behavior and emotions in special education classrooms!

This "Big Box" of Work Tasks: Behavior & Emotions Edition is packed with 15 ready-to-use independent work tasks targeting expected vs. unexpected behaviors, calm/not calm identification, emotion recognition, and self-regulation skills.

With over 85 printable pages featuring engaging visuals (a mix of real photos and clip art) for strong visual support, this set fills task boxes, work bins, independent workstations, learning centers, and small group activities any time of year. Most tasks include clip card format (clothespin tasks!), sorting activities, matching tasks, and an interactive emotion identification wheel — all designed for independent student practice.

★ Perfect for: Special Education Teachers, Autism Classrooms, Self-Contained Classrooms, Resource Rooms, Life Skills Classes, Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs), School Counselors, Paraprofessionals, ABA Therapists, Early Childhood, PreK, Preschool, Kindergarten, 1st Grade, 2nd Grade, and 3rd Grade

Behaviors & Emotions Targeted in This Set:

Behaviors include: walking in the hall, sitting quietly, using inside voice, keeping hands to self, following directions, finishing work, waiting patiently, listening, being kind, being unkind, refusing to work, covering ears, and more.

Emotions include: happy, sad, angry, surprised, scared, sick, calm, and not calm.

How to Use These Behavior & Emotions Task Boxes:

These hands-on activities are designed to drop right into your existing task box system, work bin rotation, or independent workstation setup. Use them for:

Independent work systems (perfect for TEACCH-style structured work)
Task box rotations
Morning work bins
Centers and learning stations
Small group instruction
1:1 teaching sessions
SEL lessons and behavior instruction
Speech therapy and counseling sessions
Para-led skill practice

Lots of differentiation choices so you can meet students at their level.

Why This Set Stands Out:

Engaging visual variety — combines real photos and clip art for maximum engagement and visual support
Clip card format with clothespins (builds fine motor skills while teaching behavior!)
15 different activities — variety keeps students engaged across the school year
Several Tasks Have Minimal prep — print, laminate, cut, and go
85+ pages of content!
