Theme Based Learning Packages
The Theme-Based Learning Packages are interdisciplinary units designed to build background knowledge, vocabulary, and comprehension through repeat exposure and high-engagement activities. By integrating reading, writing, math, daily work, and art/following directions, students learn core concepts about the solar system while strengthening academic and functional skills.

Aligning IEP Goals
In an effective autism classroom, instruction is rarely about teaching one isolated skill at a time. Students with autism benefit most when learning is connected, predictable, and meaningful. Theme-based weekly planning provides a powerful framework for aligning academic instruction with communication, regulation, and independence goals written into a student’s IEP

FAQs

It is not necessary for everyone to have the same interest in order to use a common theme in an autism classroom.
A shared theme can be used as a learning anchor, not as a requirement for student interest. Themes help create structure, predictability, and repeated exposure to vocabulary and concepts, which supports comprehension and skill development. However, students do not need to be equally interested in the theme for it to be effective.
Using a theme allows teachers to expand interests for all students while keeping learning engaging. Exposure to new topics supports cognitive flexibility, background knowledge, and tolerance for non-preferred content—important skills for long-term learning and real-world readiness.

The curriculum includes learning tasks that span the majority of the school day. While the core structure remains consistent, some expansion may be needed depending on several factors, including the theme being taught, the amount of time students spend in the classroom, and the level of background knowledge students have or do not yet have. Adjustments allow the curriculum to remain meaningful, accessible, and appropriately challenging while meeting the diverse needs of students.
