This pack contains nine resources including a guided and adapted sensory story of The Snail and the Whale by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, colourful semantics activities and suggestions for their use to support the comprehension and linguistic skills of pupils. All resources can be adapted by teachers in multiple ways based on the needs of specific pupils. It is my aim to support other teachers and SEN teachers in empowering their learners to thrive through accessing bespoke learning materials that cater for their individual needs, without having to reinvent the wheel!

This display pack includes: Visuals from The Colour Monster by Anna Llenas with corresponding vocabulary to describe an array of emotions experienced by children and adults alike. Strategies and methods of expressing and self-regulating different emotions to inspire and display build regulation stations around. Inspiring quotes, breathing and grounding techniques. A statement of intent to guide your practice in supporting PSED in your setting and display/explain for learning walks and inspections. You can cut and laminate these resources for longevity when displaying them around your classroom. I’d love to see how you use them!

These bespoke certificates have been created with care for our littlest learners who have shown progress in a variety of areas outside of academic attainment. If you have any requests for certificates to reward different areas of the curriculum/children’s personal development/CoEL, please comment below! I would love to make them for you.

This is a poster package that I have created as a neurodiverse SEN teacher in an ERP base covering the behaviours associated with sensory seeking and avoiding. Each poster contains information on a variety of different sensory needs, signs to look out for, strategies that can easily be included in the school day and your child’s routine, and some useful links! I have taken my time to ensure all information detailed on these posters is informed by research and experience. I am grateful for any feedback received as I truly believe that sharing experience and knowledge improves practice and understanding. Information sharing is crucial at this time when we are welcoming many more children with SEN needs who deserve every chance to flourish and succeed in school.

This communication book is designed to be easily maintained with minimal teacher input, cutting down on daily workload while still delivering essential insights to parents. It’s a fantastic resource for schools, parents, and therapy teams, supporting children’s unique learning journeys in a collaborative way. In this book, you will find: Weekly Activity and Regulation Tracking: Each week includes a visual overview where teachers can quickly mark mood and engagement levels, as well as note any focus areas or achievements, making it easy to stay updated on your child’s week at school. Food Diary: The book includes a weekly food diary to track meals and snacks with simple visuals, making it easy to indicate the amount eaten, whether all, most, or a little. This helps parents and caregivers monitor dietary habits and any new foods tried. Gestalt Language Diary: Capture and share your child’s progress in language development! This section allows teachers and parents to document specific words or phrases used, along with the context, which helps in understanding your child’s unique communication style. It’s particularly helpful for children who communicate using gestalt language patterns, and encourages shared insights between school and home. Wow Moments: Special achievements or joyful experiences are celebrated in a dedicated section, fostering positivity and providing parents with delightful updates on their child’s development. Collaborative Notes Section: Parents are encouraged to share notes about weekends or add personal insights, and the book can also be used as an evidence tool for appointments with occupational therapists, dieticians, and speech and language therapists. Symbols are from Tobii Dynavox.

Christmas, like many holidays, can be an unpredictable time for our learners with SENs. Every child should feel secure during the festive period and to support this, I have created some variations of visual timetables to support children anticipate each part of Christmas day, as well as when they will be at home and returning to school. There are instructions included on how to prepare this resource with a bonus ‘Whoops!’ card for those unexpected moments. All you need is a printer, laminator, scissors, and some velcro/blu tac.

This resource contains prompts for enquiry-based learning in the early years. These questions can be used across a range of areas in the EYFS and are open-ended to promote the development of children’s communication, language and critical thinking skills.

SUITABLE FOR EYFS, PRIMARY AND SECONDARY I have provided this resource for free. There are more children than ever in our classrooms with unmet sensory needs. When unmet, these needs lead to disregulation and a lack of focus, which ultimately compromises the well-being and learning of the child and their classmates. Sensory diets are efficient and effective in ensuring the sensory needs of hyposensitive children are met so that they are ready to learn and feel regulated in the classroom. This pack contains a sensory diet template with key terms, and some suggested activities for sensory seekers and avoiders.

This is a free poster package of two posters with information on supporting children who are sensory avoiders or become disregulated through experiencing different sensations. Both posters are part of a larger package which details different sensory needs, including how sensory diets can be built for sensory seekers with useful links to different support networks. I am neurodivergent myself and have based these resources off of research, teaching experiences and personal experiences as a sensory avoider. Any feedback is well and truly welcome as I am new to creating resources and want children with SEND to get the best support they can. This will be achieved by obtaining feedback by professionals from a variety of SEND backgrounds!
