In Maths, Flora is currently learning how to manage money in a way more relatable to her , by buying her snack. We have chosen some of her favourite, healthy snacks, made a visual price list and given her a specific amount of money, e.g. €1.
For more information about Autism and learning how to manage money during snack time, see here

Sometimes Flora is using a calculator.
This activity can be adapted to the mathematical level of each child. The Mini Canteen can be implemented in the students' daily routine and can also be turned into a group activity where students become the cashier and the customers.
We will share more tips and activities in the future, so keep visiting us.
We are looking forward to hearing your views and experiences.
