Building a Lego Car is a task that allows the student to work independently using a Work System.

Materials you'll need:

• Lego Racer Set # 8304: Smokin’ Slickster
• Instructions with pictures

The student can follow adapted instructions given in picture form available here and in the attachment below.

Work systems allow a student to work independently in the classroom and eventually in work settings.

Tasks for work systems should be directly related to a student’s IEP goals. Work systems include preferred and motivating activities.

Use ‘graduated guidance’ if a student requires support while completing a work system task. Briefly, this means providing enough physical guidance to prevent error; reducing this support as the student gains independence.
