For Teachers

Thirty years of special education, in a form a child can hold

Written by a teacher, for teachers

PiviPets came out of thirty years in special education. Every animal carries a PiviPower — one social-emotional idea, written in language a child can repeat back to you. Not a poster on the wall, but something a student can hold.

Laura Parsons, special education teacher and founder of PiviPets

What a classroom set looks like

  • One class PiviPet — a shared companion for the room, adopted together, named together.
  • A sticker for every child — printed with the animal, for folders, charts and take-home work.
  • The PiviPages storybook — a printable PDF telling that animal’s story.
  • A teacher guide — discussion questions, activities and animal facts, built into the back of every book.

Try one before you decide

Alex the Adaptable Axolotl is free to download and yours to use. Read it aloud, project it, print it, keep it. If it works in your room, the rest of the collection is here when you want it.

What is inside every PiviPages story

Two pages from PiviPages storybooks side by side: Olivia the Observant Owl on a branch at dusk, and Felix the Flexible Fox testing a stepping stone in a creek
Sample pages from Olivia the Observant Owl and Felix the Flexible Fox.
  • The story — fifteen illustrated pages, one life skill, no moral hammered home.
  • Animal facts — real ones, for the science tie-in.
  • Discussion questions — five, ready to use, no prep.
  • Activities — an art task, a social-emotional task and a short hands-on demonstration.

Delivered as a PDF, so you can project it on the board, print pages for a station, and open it again next year without wondering whether it still works.

Show it to your administrator

If you need to justify the spend, this one-page sheet maps all thirty-six PiviPowers to the five CASEL core competencies, grouped by series. It is built to be forwarded without explanation.

Purchase orders and quotes

Schools rarely buy the way individuals do. We can provide a written quote, invoice against a purchase order, and supply a W-9 if your district needs one on file.
