I'm a teacher of pupils with moderate learning disabilities, often with other difficulties too.
My resources are fairly varied as I teach a wide variety of subjects. I currently specialise in SEN qualifications such as Entry Levels.

Eight worksheets providing evidence for six of the eight challenges in module 1 of the S&R ASDAN short course.
1A1- pupils play body knowledge game. The worksheet gives space for photographic evidence and then a pupil's comment.
1A2- pupils discuss body shape. In the first activity they choose which body shape is ideal for a girl and for a boy. They share which they chose (if they feel comfortable doing so). Typically both genders believe the opposite sex find the thinnest pictures ideal, when they discover that actually both genders tend to prefer people in the middle. Pupils then create an mindmap on how famous people look and a class mindmap on the pressures on teenagers to look a certain way (the worksheet includes a photo of my class's work- replace it with your own)
1A3- pupils have a list of changes that happen during puberty. Cut them up individually before the lesson and ask them to sort into what happens to boys, girls and both. The answers are on the first page.
1A5- pupils answer written questions on what ages children are told about different important life changes such as puberty and sex. They tick which sources of information they think are most reliable and knowledgeable. They pretend to be a parent faced with a difficult question to answer, and have a go at answering themselves. They finally cut out different important things children are taught about and glue on to the picture representing which age they feel it should be taught.
1A7- they write a review on a body knowledge TV programme. The worksheet is aimed at someone who watched "Teen Taboos: sex, teens and infections" which I accessed for free online. It can easily be edited to be used with a different program.
1A8- (another suitable challenge)- play body builders where they draw around a volunteer and label the body parts called out by the teacher. Keep going until they get it wrong. I start off with easy ones and move on slowly to more difficult or more embarrassing ones. Quite good as an ice breaker game if you want your pupils to be comfortable using particular terms for different body parts or talking to you about embarrassing things. Worksheet includes instructions and space for photographic evidence.
Resources designed to support the delivery of Kayleigh's Love Story.
***I am keeping these free as I want as many pupils to watch Kayleigh's Love Story and to get as much as possible out of it.***
These were designed for Year 10-13 pupils with Moderate Learning Disabilities so may be a little basic for the average pupil.
A letter to inform parents about the showing of Kayleigh's Love Story to pupils, inviting them to watch it with staff. Editable for your own school.
Before and after sheets to see if there are any trends in attitude towards online safety before and after watching the film (I gave out anonymously to a few pupils in each class).
Sorting activity using real messages sent to Kayleigh Haywood, pupils read and decide whether they come from someone who is trustworthy, untrustworthy or not sure.
Background information for teachers and ideas for discussion.
E-safety credit card sized information to print and laminate for each pupil.
Online presence information and tasks for a lesson when you have access to a computer.
With my pupils, I also used the Friendbook activitiy here https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/friendbook-activity-6432762 to show pupils just how much information their profile can give away; the e-safety quiz here https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/esafety-quiz-6451165 as an interactive quiz
I also showed pupils how to change their privacy settings on Facebook.
