Social story about the importance of wearing your glasses. Includes spaces to personalise the story with photos of the child wearing their glasses and of other people the child knows wearing their glasses. The point of a social story is to use a patient and reassuring tone to teach children about social situations in a way that can be easily understood. Social stories can be useful for any child who is struggling to understand a situation or concept or needs help to understand a social skill or social cue, expectations, perspectives, common responses or is troubled about an upcoming event but social stories are particularly useful for children on the autistic spectrum for whom social cues can be challenging and who often suffer anxiety if they do not know what to expect from a situation. These books should be used over and over to reinforce the point so I would suggest either putting the pages into a display book or laminating and binding them.

A training booklet describing many strategies for the most common additional learning needs I have come across in schools and FE colleges, including Autism, behavioural issues, hearing/visual impairments, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, handwriting difficulties and language needs. Each difficulty has at least 15-20 different strategies that I have found most useful in supporting my learners with additional needs. Please note that these are not a one size fits all approach, and what works perfectly for one student may crash and burn for another! Like with most things in teaching, it is a trial and error process. However I have found these to be the most successful strategies for me so far.

A note from the author: I use this scheme of work my Drama class at a Special School and proved very popular and great for allowing the students to advance in their P levels. The students loved the characters, creativity and the sense of adventure. Will obviously need to be adapted for individual needs of the students. Please do comment on my resources so that I can continue to update and expand them. If you need any more information/clarification please comment and I will update my resources ASAP!

A ppt for doh disco with some links to music tracks on you tube ( or use your own music) actions are represented by symbols for SEN, 1 page per action so you can go as fast or as slow as you like to whatever music you or your students like. The last page has a selection of actions which you could add to or remove as appropriate - I ask students to take turns to lead the class they select an action and lead the group. To extend we add a direction eg roll it up, roll it down, sausage to the side etc. Have also used this in maths by adding a numeral to the action e.g. sausage 6 times. Lots of fun!
