Social story for children who are touching others inappropriately It covers what our private parts are and the fact that we must not touch other people’s. It also suggests some touches that are appropriate. 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.

Now and next boards helps pupils with SEN and behavioural difficulties to focus on what they should be doing in the instant, and what will be happening next. This is a very supportive strategy as it breaks the day down into simple stages and helps to alleviate anxiety. Simply attach a piece of velcro to the now and next areas. Symbols for lessons and transitions can be laminated and used to velcro to the board.

Social story to support children who are holding their poo in, also known as stool withholding. There are different reasons that children may do this including previous experiences of pain or trauma. This social story reassures them that it is OK to feel scared but that they do not need to and that holding their poo inside or having accidents in their underwear can be equally uncomfortable. It also explains ways to make it more comfortable when they poo.

This is a Power-Point with over 100 slides on Shakespeare's The Tempest. There are resources and activities included within this. It is aimed at low ability KS3 and was made for special needs groups (Autism, Dyslexia and ADHD, predominantly) but easily differentiated. Whilst a text can be read alongside, this unit focuses on very short extracts to help students understand character and theme - whilst making it as accessible as possible to those who struggle. It is recommended students watch the play initially to help develop their visual understanding and then re-watch clips to support what they read. The activities are included and worksheets can be printed as individual slides. This can easily be adapted to challenge students further - and some suggestions are made in the notes section.

A COMPLETE SCHEME of work on a 350+ slide powerpoint. All resources/worksheets are included and can be printed as single slides from the ppt. Lesson objectives are given (using the Assessment Focuses from the National Curriculum wording, but easily adjusted). Each lesson includes multiple tasks and chapter by chapter questions that allow students to engage with the text (characters, plot, themes, locations, quotations etc.) whilst also considering non-fiction, context, and a range of language devices. Originally made for YEAR 8, this is easily adjusted and differentiation is included (see notes for how to use some slides and alternative methods for higher/lower ability). It has been taught to Year 7, Year 8, Year 9 and even at GCSE successfully (both mainstream and Special Needs). The students really loved this unit and it has achieved ‘outstandings’ from observed lessons several times. I’ve also included a digital copy of the text for ease of printing extracts should you want additional ones not in the ppt. (Plus SEN often benefit from a copy of the text that they can draw on or highlight). I hope you enjoy teaching it and that the students gain something from this. Thanks for looking! :)

Social Story: Taking My Medication Many children and students take medications for various reasons, whether it be a medical condition, illness, or diagnosis such as ADHD. Children often times do not feel comfortable with the idea of medication, or do not know how to take medications properly. This social story is meant to make the process of taking medication more predictable, easier to manage, and less stressful for children. This social story conveys these themes using practical examples, engaging visuals, and developmentally appropriate language suited to elementary and special education students. We hope this social story will help you help the children and students you work with!

Colourful semantics to go with 23 CVC words. I split these into 4 words per week (one week, has 3 words) and we work on spelling these words and using them in sentences, but this can be easily adapted if you wanted to use more words per week. I have included colourful semantics boards, from the basic Who, What doing, What, to more complex Who, What doing, What, Where, Why. I have laminated these for my class and differentiate so some of the students complete only the 3 word sentences and some complete the 4 or 5 word sentences, but using the same pictures. I have included 3 pictures of examples of students using the boards and words (I hav blanked out student names)

Climb aboard for a multisensory exploration of Indian culture told through the eyes of a train passenger. A multisensory story is told using sensory stimuli (props). The story props are low budget, everyday items found around the home, garden, outdoor areas and in the classroom. This story includes themed, sensory extension activities that link to the EYFS Framework and areas of the KS1 National Curriculum making them the perfect resource for Special Education (aged 3-19) EYFS, Mainstream Primary, Speech & Language and EAL students. What are the Benefits of Multisensory Storytelling? Storytelling creates a bond between the storyteller and the story explorer enhancing and enriching experiences. Rhyming Multisensory Stories connect the individual to literature, culture and topic in a fun and engaging way. The stories form a base on which to scaffold learning enabling the student to work on personal goals and individual targets. The activities in the stories are designed to promote communication skills: (eye contact, listening, shared attention & language development), self-confidence & well-being (trying out new ideas & skills, practicing self-care & independence and enjoying achievement), self-awareness: (asking for ‘help’, ‘again’ and ‘more’), present opportunities to explore cause & effect and build anticipation skills, promote physical development: (fine & gross motor skills), build knowledge about the environment & the world around us, to engage in scientific experimentation and mathematical concepts and to develop social & emotional skills: (turn-taking & sharing and teamwork). The sensory stimuli (story props) are a tool for the story explorer to explore and express their likes, dislikes and sensory preferences and to have the opportunity to make choices. This information can be used to identify motivators or items to calm and individual when anxious, tired or stressed, identify triggers, (some you may wish to avoid, others to work on building tolerance through desensitisation in a safe and therapeutic environment) and used in the writing of care plans to enhance areas daily life.

The resource is designed for young people, aged 12+, who have social and communication related difficulties. It may benefit those with Autism or Neurodiversities but will also suit a range of learners who find social interaction, relationships, communication and independence more difficult for any reason. The workbook is packed full with 50 pages of activities that are designed to be used in the classroom or at home. This workbook can be used as a programme of work on social skills for learners who wish to develop these skills. It’s important for the teacher or adult working with the learner to check each activity for suitability for their individual student and that the programme is suitable for the individual. The topics covered include: Knowing Yourself, Relationships, Emotions, Independence and Social Scenarios. The booklet is in read-only PDF format. It can be used with compatible text-to-speech software and coloured backgrounds have been used on most pages so that the booklet is dyslexia-friendly.

This resource consists of two speaking and listening discussions for Functional Skills English Level 1. It is for staff use, providing a topic for a discussion and a checklist to assess the pupils progress. Although this assessment follows the theme of Christmas, it can easily be edited for any topic and used multiple times. There are two pages for each activity, one for teachers to assess multiple pupils and one for assessing one pupil which can be placed in this pupil’s file. The first discussion asks pupils to imagine that they are arranging a charity Christmas dinner. As a group they must discuss what food and drink to serve, what activities to put on, where to hold it and what charity to raise money for. The must make a final decision as a group to end the discussion. The second discussion poses the question, “Is Christmas too commercialised?” In a group, students must discuss this question and come to a group conclusion. This discussion is linked to our Christmas Functional Skills English Level 1 reading resource. Both discussion should last around 15 minutes, but it depends on the number of pupils involved. Please look at our other Functional Skills Christmas resources ranging from Entry Level 1 to Level 1 and including reading, writing and speaking and listening activities.
