Autism Morning Work Book

(0)
This adapted morning work binder is an engaging and hands-on way to start each morning with your autistic students. Using the morning binder each day will help your students get into a routine where they come in, settle down and they are ready to work. Many of our students may struggle with transition in the mornings, so by providing this work book as a consistent routine in their daily morning routine, it will help them to settle quicker and be prepared to work. The books are editable so each student can have their own personalized morning binder. The document comes as a Keynote and PowerPoint file. You can add on different wording and add pictures of your student etc. but please note you will not be able to add/change/extract any form of clipart/imagery/text from this document. This is to protect our fabulous clip artists and myself as a teacher-author. This book comes in 2 levels; Level 1 - Students match images or symbols to each of the pages. Level 2 - Students match images or symbols and words to the pages. They can also use a dry-wipe pen and write their answers to make it harder again. What’s Included? Level 1 Morning Work Binder Accompanying Walkthrough to Put Together the Level 1 Morning Work Binder Level 2 Morning Work Binder Accompanying Walkthrough to Put Together the Level 2 Morning Work Binder What’s Included in the Books? The books include; Front Cover Me and My Name How Do I Feel? My School What Day Is It? What Months Is It? What Season Is It? How’s the Weather? What Should I Wear? Finished Front Cover You can either add your students name using a text box and then print out, or have students write their name once printed. You can also put a white shape square over the image on the front cover and then insert an image of your student if you want their photo on the front cover. What Should I Wear This comes with 4 different options. You only need to print one per book used. 2 boy options, and 2 girl options are included. Students use the clothing pieces included to dress the person appropriately for how the weather is outside. Build Up If you feel there are too many pages to start for your students, use less pages to start. First, just use ‘Me and My Name’ ‘What Day Is It?’ ‘How’s the Weather?’ and 'Finished’ Then, as students progress with this, start adding more of the pages in. Finished My students love these books - but they love the finished page too. Having the finished page is a visual way to show your students that they have completed the activity. And that’s the end of the book. All symbols are included in this resource. You can also add your own too.

Autism Communication Fan Where Hurts?

(0)
This visual communication fan is a great way for your students to communicate with you where they are in pain. Many of our students struggle to explain where they feel pain - or where is hurting. This visual, symbol supported fan is going to help aide with the communication barriers - and get your student the help that they need. There are a range of different body parts included on this fan, and you can put them together with a keyring and keep on you at all times. Visuals are very important to your autism and special education students. By having them portable, and on the go, it means that we can continue our communication outside of the classroom. Body parts included are; arm head (boy) head (girl) ear eye finger foot knee ankle leg lips nose shoulders stomach teeth thumb toe tongue hand wrist I highly recommend cutting out each of the individual fan pieces, laminating them then hole punching the bottom and attaching to a keyring so that they can be used to show students quickly and easily.

A ready-to-use whole PSHE / end of year review lesson with interactive smartboard presentation and resources to print. The smartboard presentation introduces what they're going to be doing and then presents each area to think about on a separate page, so you can work through it with them. There are a few symbols on each page of the presentation, to demonstrate completion of the sentence. For example, on the "My favourite educational visit was..." page, there are the symbols for museum, boat trip and castle, ready to drag up to complete the sentence. On their sheets of symbols, there are a lot more to choose from. The printed resources, include a main page for them to fill in their details on, and then sentences to complete using the wide range of symbols. Each question has a dedicated page of symbols. Of course you can let them cut out the symbol they want, or get your TA to chop each page up beforehand and put in a separate envelope for them to spread out and choose from, for each question.

*NEW FREE 2020 VERSION* PSHE education planning framework for pupils with SEND

(0)
Supporting PSHE education leads and teachers working with pupils with special educational needs and disability (SEND) is a key part of our work. We are therefore delighted to launch this fully updated version of the PSHE Association Planning Framework for Pupils with SEND. It will support those of you working with SEND pupils in both special and mainstream settings. All schools are required to teach the majority of PSHE education from September 2020. This includes Relationships Education at key stages 1 and 2, Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) at key stages 3 and 4, and Health Education in both primary and secondary phases. We published this latest version of our Framework in July 2020 and it accompanies the 2020 edition of the PSHE Association Programme of Study for PSHE education. It is also fully aligned with the Statutory Guidance for Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education from the Department for Education (DfE). We have mapped the content grids from this statutory guidance to the Planning Framework, and adapted learning outcomes appropriately in cases where statutory content may not be accessible for pupils with SEND. This Framework also supports schools to provide a comprehensive PSHE programme that integrates, but is not limited to, this new statutory content. ‘The World I Live In’ section covers aspects of PSHE relating to careers education, economic wellbeing, personal safety (including assessing and managing risk) and preparing for adulthood. Though not yet a statutory part of PSHE education, this learning is critical to support different levels of independence that pupils with SEND may have. The Framework covers all of this while supporting you to plan, assess, monitor and evidence progress and achievement in your pupils’ PSHE education. The Planning Framework is free to download and printed copies will be available for members to purchase once we resume our delivery service. Register your interest here. Also see our SEND Hub, to which we will will be adding case studies, a webinar, and all other SEND-related materials.
