Print as large cards for home/school use and in a pocket sized version on a wrist twist which easily fit into a pocket or onto a key-ring. ​ ​​These cards are great for discussing how other people feel, exploring body language and facial expressions These are also available to purchase professionally made on a keyring from my Ebay store £4.99 inc delivery.

Great feedback from these - children feel empowered to do something positive in a fun way.

This diary template is a perfect behaviour management tool for individual pupils. Use as a daily diary entry alongside the ‘zones of regulation’ to help pupils talk about their feelings. Pupils can write or adults can make notes after a conversation with the pupil - depending on their needs. I have stuck these into a ‘diary’ so that the pupil can look back over each day. Recording daily has also enabled me to track and monitor triggers and pattens in behaviour.

4 oval shapes for learners to draw - self portrait, things I like, my family, what I want to do when I grow up. When these are finished, ovals should be cut out and folded in half. Two halves should be stuck to one oval - making a 'cross' type shape when viewed from above. Apologies for my rubbish description!

ADHD tips, observation sheet, and reward tickets. If you have an ADHD child in your class this year, I hope this list of tips will be helpful. Use the observation sheet to write down and record problem areas. This will be helpful for parent conferences and for seeing what works and what doesn't. Use the reward tickets as an incentive for your student to stay on task. You can offer your student a choice of different activities to choose from (such as 10 minutes of computer time) if they complete a task you give them. This worked very well for my autistic students as well. I have included tickets for a boy or girl to give them if they cannot do the activity right away.
