I'm currently training as a Primary Teacher so making a wide range of resources using a variety of programmes including ActivInspire and Smart Notebook. My shop also has some of my past resources that I made during my time as a Special Needs Support Assistant. I am also a Cub Scout Leader and have provided some of the resources I have made for this role where I feel that may be of use to others.

A record sheet to show the amount of support students need for different tasks. You score the student on the amount of: Verbal Support; Visual Support and Physical Support - with 1 being no support and 5 being lots of support. There is also a column to record how much Independent Work the student did and space to make comments - such as new skills seen, improvements in skills, etc...
A sheet that requires students to correctly sequence four of the stages involved in making a product. (Design, Marking Out, Cutting (etc...) and Assembly) They also have to fill in additional details about each of these stages. In this case the product shown in production is a bird house though the stages are the same for any hands on DT that doesn't require specialist equipment.
A drawing I made of the Bug Houses we produce that students could practice their shading skills on. (This is also included in one of the worksheet packs I have produced.)
Here are a lot of scans of the drawings on our tool poster set that we display in our Design and Technology room. I was scanning them all in to make in to resources but decided there might be some people who'd find the images themselves useful. All of these images were hand drawn a long while ago. I&'m happy for people to use them as they wish but if you make resources with them please be as so kind as to upload them here. Thank you.
This sheet shows 4 of the stages that I took our Scout Groups badge through whilst designing it. It clearly shows how different parts of a design can be modified and changed and built on as a design progresses.
This project is based around the ID theme from the Cornerstones Curriculum. The booklet was produced for a medium ability special needs class. All pupils in the class have a statement of autism. This booklet uses my older style without regular self assessment instead it relies on teacher feedback.
There are pages on research, design ideas, final design, how to make, construction and final piece.
This booklet was originally made for a Design and Technology club that I was running at my Special Needs school. We had a range of pupils from Year 5 to Year 9. It was aimed at helping the students in primary transition in to secondary. The project was carefully chosen to use as wide a range of skills as possible. All of the students have a statement for autism. The workbook starts with a page on DT room safety; it then looks at the properties of materials and why they are suitable for the tasks we want to do with them; a bit of product research; design work; two worksheets covering how to vacuum form and solder and a simple sheet to do an evaluation on.
A work book made for Key Stage 3 Special Needs students with a statement of Autism who are following the Cornerstones Curriculum. In this Design and Technology project students will design and make a night light. Please note that this booklet requires the use of an oven and a laser cutter to complete so is not suitable for primary settings (unless they have strong links to a secondary school). The booklet is aimed at a lower to middle ability group. Each page contains a lot of structure to support students as they complete the project. The pages also include space for pupils to take part in self or peer assessment. The booklet includes pages on: Design Brief Analysis, Research, Specification, Initial Ideas, Modelling, Circuit Design, Final Ideas, Production Plan, Manufacture, Outcome and Evaluation. It also contains a number of hand drawn pictures.
