Teach, Task Box, Inspire: The Podcast (A Show for Special Educators)

107. The Psychology Behind Why Task Boxes Work


Listen Later

In this episode, Lisa digs into the why behind task boxes — the real psychology and brain science that make them such powerful tools for students with special needs. You’ll learn how structure, repetition, and predictability calm the brain, how success releases motivation-boosting chemicals, and why visuals and autonomy are key to independence. With real classroom stories and down-to-earth examples, this episode will leave you seeing your task boxes not just as learning tools, but as a confidence-building system that rewires how students think and feel about learning.
