This resource has 2 sets of 8 community themed images. I laminated these separately and added velcro. One set of answers is text, the other is symbol supported. I use this as a reuseable matching task for children and young people with ASD / Learning Disability. Also suitable to be used as a worksheet or TEACCH task.

An interactive book I designed for pupils with ASD but also suitable for learners with Speech and Language Difficulties, SEN or KS1. Colourful Semantics support understanding of who / doing / what questions and also supports understanding of sentence structure. I make up the book by laminating whole pages. I then print off an additional copy of the who / doing / what pages, then chop and laminate these as individual cards. I add velcro to the whole page who / doing / what sheets and use these as a baseboard for the individual cards. I also add velcro to the who / doing / what table underneath each picture. The book can be assembled with a keyring / treasury tag. Keep the who / doing / what sheets separate so the child has them to refer to when looking at the picture. It’s simpler than I’m making it sound! I have used this type of book both as a one to one task and as an independent TEACCH task.

Human Body introduction, leading to an investigation for children to investigate the impact of exercise on the heart rate. Table for children to complete to record their heart rates. Sheet to record the investigation process.

Book review template designed to support KS1 narrative intervention work (who, where, when, what happened). Used with a small group of KS1/KS2 learners with autism but also useful for mainstream learners who are beginning to learn the key elements of a story.

Activity 1: Children need to count the items (1 - 5) on a baseboard and place the corresponding number digit card and dice card appropriately. Designed to reinforce familiarity with numbers 1 to 5 and their matching digit and dice face. Best laminated with velcro to attach cards to baseboard but also suitable for use as a cut and paste worksheet. Activity 2: 4 worksheets of varying difficulty. Children need to complete 10 squares to make specific numbers. This could be made more fun by using bingo dabbers or an ear bud dipped in paint.

4 A4 sheets in total - 2 car parks and 2 sheets with corresponding cars. 1 activity is based on adding 10 to numbers from 0 to 10 and the other is based on doubling single digits. A cut and stick activity. Learners are given the car park sheet and have to work out the sum and stick the correct car in the car park space. Sums are on the car park places, answers are on the cars. I designed this for a Y2 learner with autism and limited motivation in maths as he loved cars. It did capture his interest and engaged him well. Other pupils who weren’t quite as fixated on cars still enjoyed the activity. Also suitable for mainstream pupils working at this level, or older pupils with SEN.

I made this book as a weekly starter for a weekly RE lesson with a term theme of ‘Creation’. The books were laminated (whole page) and bound. I printed the last page twice and cut out the 2nd version so pupils had cards to match with each page in the book. I used the 1st version as a base board to store the cards when not in use. Used with children with ASD / learning disability.

A selection of Little Red Riding Hood activities I used in literacy with my ASD class. There is quite a lot here, all at quite a simple level - my learners were all at P Level to Reception / early Y1. The activities are also suitable for mainstream children working at the above level, or older learners with SEN.

Selection of 2D and 3D sheets which I have used as reuseable velcro tasks in my ASD classroom. Also suitable for use as cut and paste worksheets. ‘I can name shapes’ - 2 tasks, one matching shape to shadow, other is a shape labelling task. I laminated the main sheets whole, then cut out the shapes / shape names and added velcro. Learners match the name / shape to the baseboard. I have also left space on the baseboard for a strip of velcro to be added to keep the pieces together and ensure they don’t get lost when not in use. ‘real life shapes’ - picture cards of items which can be used in a range of ways, including sorting. ‘shape sorting - straight_curved’ - Another velcro task, laminate base board and pieces, pupils sort shapes by whether they have a curved edge or not. Also suitable to be used as a worksheet. ‘Shape colour and size’ - 2 x A4 pages. Page one has shapes which differ by colour, page 2 has shapes which differ by size and colour. I used these with SEN pupils in a range of ways, including as an attention and listening activity. E.g. “give me the red circle” (set 1) or “give me the big pink triangle”(set 2) All activities also suitable to be made up for home learning, especially when repetition is helpful for learners with SEN.

2 worksheets to support understanding of pronouns (he / she / they). Created for KS1 / KS2 autism class but also appropriate for KS1 mainstream learners or intervention groups

Created for mixed age SEN class of children with autism, roughly following Y3 white rose scheme of work. Children begin to explore grouping in 3, repeated addition, bar models, simple word problems (as my children particularly struggle with any form of worded question!) and drawing their own representations.

Base cards showing a food item and a price up to 20p. Learners need to find the matching card (showing British coins) to attach to the base card. Best laminated and with velcro attached. 14 cards to match (photo only shows 6 of them)

A hotchpotch of various resources I used with my ASD specialist provision class during a recent Under the Sea topic. My class were mixed ages and varied widely in ability (P4 to approx Y1/Y2 ability) so the resources reflect this. These resources are suitable for any age group who are working at this level, and also suitable for mainstream. There are 10 files included: L is for lighthouse - simple level, tracing ‘l’ and colouring items that start with ‘l’ S is for starfish - as above but ‘s’ Sea Creatures - match photo to image (simple reasoning / develop generalising) Lighthouse Facts - 2 A4 worksheets for basic lighthouse facts. 1 page is words only, 2nd sheet is supported by symbols. Lighthouse Factsheet - very similar to above but slightly prettier - used in a previous year with a group who were more able and could manage with more visual distraction. Lighthouse intro - basic powerpoint Draw and label a lighthouse - simple A4 sheet Starfish ‘eat’ or ‘live’ sorting sheet Starfish fact sheet - A4 sheet for learners to complete Under the sea describing words - topic related pictures, learners needed to find a describing word for each picture (e.g. ______ boat ) 2 copies per A4 page

Resources used with my specialist ASD class while we were learning about St George (British Isles topic). George and the Dragon Vocab - 6 A4 pages with varied activities focusing on the vocabulary of the story. Pages 1 and 2 - ‘Key word bingo’ we were prelearning / reinforcing the words in the story. I stuck one of the ‘Key word bingo’ sheets in each of the children’s books. Page 3 - these were the words in the bingo (calling cards). I cut these up and kept them in a basket. We ended our English lessons that week with a game of key word bingo using the strip stuck in their book. We just used counters as markers so we could replay. For more able pupils, if they had a picture I would ask them what the work meant or ask them to put it into a sentence. For less able pupils, I would repeat the word and give an explanation to reinforce understanding. Page 4 - activity for a child with limited ability to read or write, instructions included on the page. Page 5 - pictures of key words - learners to write a sentence using the key word. Page 6 - missing word activity with visual cues. George and the Dragon Vocab list - 1 A4 page containing vocab list (2 per page)
