Learning mat/visual timetable for SEMH/anxiety/PDA/ASD (editable version)

This is, without a doubt, the most useful resource I have produced. I have used these personally for the last 5 or so years, and my colleagues have borrowed and adapted them across a range of children to meet a range of needs.

They serve a number of purposes, but primarily they lay out exactly what is going to be happening across a day or work session which can reduce the anxiety which can lead to work refusal. They also provide an opportunity for a child to choose the order in which they do their work, which can be a huge thing, particularly when working with demand avoidant children.

I have personally used this with children with diagnoses and needs related to ADHD, attachment issues, early life trauma, SEMH, ASC, Aspergers and PDA, and find it consistently useful.

This resource is based around a whole day, but can be edited to individual needs. If you do share these with someone else, please point them in my direction as the original author. Thanks.
