CLAMS cards
Acronym
CLAMS
Description
CLAMS is an acronym for five different domains of targets for young
students: C-Communication; L-Literacy; A-Academic (math, shapes, colors,
etc.); M-Motor (fine & gross); S-Social. CLAMS Cards are used in
START's Early Childhood training. When staff are designing an activity
for students, they might create a CLAMS card that outlines all of the
different goals that may be embedded within the activity. The idea is
that during any classroom activity, we want students to practice
communication, motor, and social skills in addition to the academic
and/or literacy skills traditionally targeted within that activity.
