Using the Sorting and Assembly Tray as a Calendar Box System:
The Prevocational Skills Development Materials are designed to help students with multiple disabilities develop manipulative skills such as matching, sorting, counting, assembling, and packaging.
The Sorting and Assembly Tray can also be used as a calendar box system. Calendar boxes are used to teach daily schedules, improve communication, increase anticipation, and develop the concept of time. Each divided section represents a specific period of time.
