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.

I made this worksheet for homework for my MLD class.
Low ability have to fill in the number of each object their true love gives and fill in the occasional label. The objects are in the correct order so numbering is very easy.
Middle have to fill in the number and fill in more complicated labels.
High ability have a mixed-up worksheet, so the numbering is more difficult. They also have most of the labels missing.
Entry level English- plan a film.
Worksheet to use including sections for title, characters, plot etc.
I photocopy on to A3 so they have space to add detail.
Six worksheets which provide clear evidence for the whole topic of Communicating Experiences as part of the Entry Pathways qualifications. Assessment Criteria covered are AC 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.1, 2.2, 3.1
Can be used with any experience you feel relevant to your pupils.
With my SEN pupils I preferred to photocopy each worksheet onto A3 so they have plenty of space.
The worksheets cater for Entry Level Three students but can easily be adapted for lower ability pupils by leaving irrelevant sheets out.
Pupils state what experience they will talk about, outline who, where, when and what happened. They use adjectives to describe what happened, feelings, actions and words. They give the opinion of themselves and someone who disagreed and fact to back both up.
They are finally prompted to type up their experience in their preferred format such as a newspaper article, a straight piece of writing, a story, an interview etc.
Worksheets created for SEN pupils working through the Entry Pathways English syllabus, in particular exploring events and characters in audio-visual texts. Providing clear evidence for AC 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5. They can also be used for evidencing coursework of other qualifications.
We watched Of Mice and Men.
Some pupils ordered the main events which were photocopied on A3 and cut up.
Pupils detail what happens in the moments before, during and after four given key events in the text.
They then look in detail at the theme of violence throughout the text. They create a violence map showing who is involved in any acts of violence.
Pupils answer questions on who is most violent, why and how the characters' actions affect the way we feel about them. They discuss whether Lennie is a violent man or someone who accidentally performs violent acts, whether violence is seen as acceptable on the ranch with examples. These questions are either read and written independently by the pupils or discussed with a member of staff who then writes their comments down as evidence.
Pupils use pictures of advertisements and sort them into the intended audience (children, teenagers, young adults, parents, old people, women, men and couples).
Higher ability are given a computer to find their own examples for each type of audience. Lower ability are given a variety of adverts to use (kids eat free restaurant, princess shoes, make up, spot cream, beer, men's shower gel, retirement package and his and hers matching watches).
They then give reasons why the advert they chose would appeal to those people.
Pupils were given the challenge to design a new classroom chair.
They firstly had to research using the survey given.
They then had to identify a Unique Selling Point and design a chair around that.
They had to design a poster to advertise their chair.
Finally they had to show their poster to pupils and pitch their idea, gathering feedback using the second survey provided.
