frustrated at times. That's why it's important that they are able to have breaks throughout the day to
relax and
refocus. Break cards are essential in the special ed world!

I like your example of break cards. These cards are very important to students with Autism because of how frequently they get frustrated. Having worked with students with Autism cards like these definitely came in handy. Save these, you will use them!
