Independent Work activities are important to teach students how to work without additional prompting.

I initially put this small, table top work system together for a student who needed a visual to answer, "How long are you going to ask me to sit here and work?" Once the student matched the number to the drawer, I took out the materials and used them for instruction. He could see that he would be finished after drawer #3. Since I use the same structure for "Independent Work", this is also a good way to teach how that system works. I know that a Left to Right system is preferable, however, space and furniture have been an issue and the mobile carts i use give me more flexibility and opportunity for more independence. (See Independent Work Systems for more information). Quick reminder: Please do not undo, or reset student work in front of them! How frustrating to watch someone take apart the hard work you just completed! Work Systems, Behavior Management
