So worksheets aren't exactly my favorite tasks to give my students for many reasons. One is obvious: they can be really boring. Also, many of my students are pre-writers so I honestly don't get too much valuable information about their knowledge if I am constantly prompting, hand-over-hand-ing, (etc) to get the worksheet completed. BUT, completing worksheets is a really needed skill for all students. It's what I give for homework (not much choice there), and if our goal is to include our kiddos in general education as much as possible, they are going to need to know how to complete worksheets. So, I add them in to our centers and make them as engaging as possible.
There are several TpT products that I use that have already been highly adapted to meet the needs of students like mine. One of them is the Daily Math Practice Pack by Melissa Toth from The Adventures of Room 83. From what I can tell, she teaches kiddos similar to mine, and the visuals in this addition pack are so helpful. I am definitely not as patient as she is in terms of creating materials, and was happy she did the work for me for this addition pack.
I also use Sasha at the Autism Helper's Visual Math Activities for Children with Autism. The pictures are super engaging, the worksheets fit so many of my students levels, and they're just so easy to print off and use :)
My latest kick is creating my own Color By Number activities. These are so good for my lower level students who are working on color identification and one step direction following, in addition to letter, shape, or number identification. Here's an example:
