This is a set of 20 cards for your non-verbal child.
You can laminate them, then use a hole punch in the upper left hand corner and add a ring to hold them together. If you prefer you can also put them into a folder or photo album.
Is Your Child Getting Enough Sleep?
How Much Sleep Do Children Need?
1-3 Years Old: 12 – 14 hours per day
As your child moves past the first year toward 18-21 months of age he will likely lose his morning and early evening nap and nap only once a day. While toddlers need up to 14 hours a day of sleep, they typically get only about 10.
Most children from about 21 to 36 months of age still need one nap a day, which may range from one to three and a half hours long. They typically go to bed between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. and wake up between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m.
3-6 Years Old: 10 – 12 hours per day
Children at this age typically go to bed between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. and wake up around 6 a.m. and 8 a.m., just as they did when they were younger. At age 3, most children are still napping, while at age 5, most are not. Naps gradually become shorter, as well. New sleep problems do not usually develop after age 3.
7-12 Years Old: 10 – 11 hours per day
At these ages, with social, school, and family activities, bedtimes gradually become later and later, with most 12-years-olds going to bed at about 9 p.m. There is still a wide range of bedtimes, from 7:30 to 10 p.m., as well as total sleep times, from 9 to 12 hours, although the average is only about 9 hours.
12-18 Years Old: 8 – 9 hours per day
Sleep needs remain just as vital to health and well-being for teenagers as when they were younger. It turns out that many teenagers actually may need more sleep than in previous years. However, for many teenagers social pressures conspire against getting the proper amount and quality of sleep.

PECs Cue Mats
If your child is Autistic or has other non-verbal difficulties; then these mats may just be the help you are needing.
These mats are in poster size (18×24 inches) but you can print them off to a smaller size if desired.
You and your child can go over the mat and discuss each photo. When he or she needs to tell you something; they can simply point to the photo on the mat to tell you that they are hungry, need time alone, that they are tired or not feeling well.
There will be other mats to follow.

With this activity, children learn the beginning sounds of words. The plus side is that they can use their motor skills when drawing the lines from the picture to the letter that goes with that word.
Just click below for the worksheet.
Draw A Line Sheet 3
Circle the Pictures (N to Z)
Here are the remaining sheets for the Circle the Pictures.
Once again, use a laminator or clear pocket protectors. It would be a great idea to store them in a notebook so they would be easy to use.
Circle The Pictures (A to M)
I spent all day working on some sheets that will help the little ones with sounding out their letters and matching them to the appropriate words.
Now, you can print these off in either 5×7 or 8×10. You can laminate them or put them in clear pocket protectors so that you can use them multiple times. Make sure to use dry erase markers when using laminating sheets and the pocket protectors. Since there are so m
any, I will divide them into 2 groups.
Line Practice
Line practice is a great way to strengthen fine motor skills and get children ready for writing.
It’s okay if they don’t follow the lines perfectly. Try letting them use something small like a crayon or a golf pencil. They are easier to grip and not as top heavy.
You can print these off in 5×7 or 8×10. Laminate to use dry erase markers or you can slip them into clear pocket protectors so they can use them multiple times.
