Description: This printable instructional guide is a planning companion for the Feeling Sick at School Boom deck lesson series, which focuses on personal health, wellness, and communication at school. It is designed to serve as the starting point of the lesson, providing special education teachers with a high-level framework for planning and delivering intentional instruction using Boom decks. Rather than assigning digital activities in isolation, this guide helps teachers understand the full lesson progression across the deck series. Instructional targets move from identifying physical symptoms and body sensations to communicating discomfort, asking for help, and following the routine for visiting the school nurse. This supports health and safety instruction that is structured, predictable, and aligned to real-world school routines. The guide includes instructional targets, pacing suggestions, background knowledge considerations, differentiation strategies, pre-teaching vocabulary, application ideas, assessment options, and IEP-aligned goal suggestions. It is especially helpful for teachers planning life skills, health and wellness lessons, social communication instruction, and differentiated support for students who need explicit instruction in self-advocacy and school safety.
