EducationDifferentiated Instruction & Assessment2MildTeacher$ implied

Special education teacher needs differentiated morning work to keep higher-functioning students with intellectual disabilities engaged after they finish their routine tasks earlier than peers.

No adaptive or self-leveling activity tool that automatically adjusts complexity or provides additional independent life-skills practice aligned with students' existing tasks, leaving teacher to manually fill the time gap.
