field trips – Mr B’s Classroom

It is always a very happy to announce another Ability Guidebook. This is book number 49! There are now four books for DC. Let your special education teacher friends or autism programs know!

Ability Guidebook I Am Going To The WWII monument

Ability Guidebooks are the creation of Brett Bigham, the 2014 Oregon State Teachers of the Year. Many people with autism become stressed out with new experiences. Ability Guidebooks help alleviate that stress by allowing people with autism a chance to see what is coming up. There are now Guidebooks for eleven different countries in four different languages with more coming up!

They make great field trip guides for general education students too!
