12 one-page visual stories for the everyday moments autistic and ADHD pupils find hardest: lining up, changing activity, assembly, wet play, a supply teacher, home time and more. Each page uses short first-person sentences, one picture per step and a calm, large-print layout (Atkinson Hyperlegible font). Print or display on the board; works for EYFS to KS2 and for SEN units. Includes a blank template page so staff can write their own. PDF, A4 and US Letter, 4 colour styles. Written with AI assistance. Personal/classroom licence; the school licence covers every class in the setting.
GCSE mocks start in weeks - and an ADHD brain won’t follow a 40-page revision timetable. This kit only ever asks: what’s the next 25 minutes?
What you get (16-page A4 PDF):
4-week ‘minimum viable’ plan (scary topics first, then past papers, fix mistakes, light week)
16 cut-out 25-minute sprint cards with five ways to start
‘Can’t start? Pick a door’ page for task paralysis
Subject brain-dump sheet and past-paper tracker
Weekly body and brain check
Exam access arrangements: the questions to ask your SENCO before the mocks
Mock-day kit list and an ‘if my mind goes blank’ card
Parent page: helping without nagging
After-the-mocks review
Who it’s for: Year 11 students in England and Wales (and anyone doing GCSE mocks) with ADHD or ADHD traits, and their parents. Works without a diagnosis.
Small print: Study support, not medical or educational advice. Access arrangements are decided by your school under the JCQ rules - this kit doesn’t promise any. Written with AI assistance.
