Teaching Mainstreamed Children to Manage Daily Transitions.

08/01/2025 | PAXIS Institute |

Daily transitions between activities (for example, from play to academics, from circle time to outdoor time) may place complex demands on children. If transitions between activities are planned and structured appropriately, they provide an opportunity for children to learn and practice self-management skills. If transitions are not planned or structured, they may provide many opportunities for disruption. In fact, disruptions are often a problem during activity changes (Arlin, 1979). This article examines some of the demands placed upon students during transitions between activities and recommends instructional strategies to help children staisfy those demands.
