I used these to support what these monster teddies represent during communication group songs for my SEN nursery children. Feel free to use in any way.

Gingerbread man sensory story

A really quick and simple sensory story I created from the adapted gingerbread man story for my nursery children. I used this on the iPad to show the story. It could definitely be enhanced but it's a starting point.

New year art idea

Thought this may be good inspiration for art representing the new year. My students are at a stage where they would explore this through mixing paints with their hands or watching a paint splat and assisting with the paint splat. I would cut out the numbers using card and place on top of the black card before revealing the outline. It would also make a good attention autism!

This is a good website with alot of free content. There are packs for most topics and areas. A variety of abilities from matching up to addition and subtraction. I have found it very useful over the years.

A really wonderful book which is proactive and supportive for understanding meltdowns, how autistic children’s brains work and what we can do to help. 100% highly recommend
