Graph and tally templates used during introductory lessons for tally counting, graphs and pictograms. Used for KS1 and KS2 children with autism but also suitable for mainstream children or KS3 pupils with SEN. Pictogram has differentiated questions.

I used this to develop very basic counting skills in a child with significant needs. It can be used as a cut and paste worksheet (3 worksheets if you print the table 3 times) or laminated and used as a re-useable sorting / workstation task. I also used the laminated cards to play counting games with the child - giving him a selection of cards (all of the cards would have been overwhelming) and asking him to find 3 apples / 2 bananas etc. Once he became more confident with this, the next step would be to give him a selection of cards and ask him to find all of the threes / all of the twos etc. As this child was particularly motivated by superheroes, I included some superhero cards too.

I use these for workstation TEACCH tasks in my autism classroom. I laminate the baseboard and cards and add velcro so activities are reusable but they are also appropriate for use as a stick and paste worksheet task. Set 1 categories are hot / cold Set 2 categories are less than 4 / 4 - 7 / greater than 7 Set 3 categories are bathroom / bedroom / kitchen

Weekly weather recording chart / log. Colour coordinated for ease of use. Used for pupils with ASD / SLD to develop awareness of the weather, but equally suitable for other pupils with SEN or children in KS1. Resource can be used as a cut and stick worksheet, or could be laminated to be used more than once. It could also be blown up to A3 size and used as a whole class or small group resource. I have used a very similar resource as part of my class morning routine.

**File 1: 2 Christmas themed worksheets. ** A) Children to look at the picture and identify if the character is left or right of the Christmas tree. B) Children to look at the picture and identify if the character is in front or behind the Christmas tree. File 2: 2 Christmas themed worksheets. Cut and stick the Christmas characters, following instructions to place them left or right. There are 2 different worksheets, the 2nd has simpler language and the key word is highlighted. I also accidentally forgot to delete the first page which is a duplicate from File 1.

4 A4 sheets in total - 2 car parks and 2 sheets with corresponding cars. 1 activity is based on adding 10 to numbers from 0 to 10 and the other is based on doubling single digits. A cut and stick activity. Learners are given the car park sheet and have to work out the sum and stick the correct car in the car park space. Sums are on the car park places, answers are on the cars. I designed this for a Y2 learner with autism and limited motivation in maths as he loved cars. It did capture his interest and engaged him well. Other pupils who weren’t quite as fixated on cars still enjoyed the activity. Also suitable for mainstream pupils working at this level, or older pupils with SEN.

Resources used with my specialist ASD class while we were learning about St George (British Isles topic). George and the Dragon Vocab - 6 A4 pages with varied activities focusing on the vocabulary of the story. Pages 1 and 2 - ‘Key word bingo’ we were prelearning / reinforcing the words in the story. I stuck one of the ‘Key word bingo’ sheets in each of the children’s books. Page 3 - these were the words in the bingo (calling cards). I cut these up and kept them in a basket. We ended our English lessons that week with a game of key word bingo using the strip stuck in their book. We just used counters as markers so we could replay. For more able pupils, if they had a picture I would ask them what the work meant or ask them to put it into a sentence. For less able pupils, I would repeat the word and give an explanation to reinforce understanding. Page 4 - activity for a child with limited ability to read or write, instructions included on the page. Page 5 - pictures of key words - learners to write a sentence using the key word. Page 6 - missing word activity with visual cues. George and the Dragon Vocab list - 1 A4 page containing vocab list (2 per page)

Question cards, children to clip a clothes peg onto the correct answer (yes or no). Some questions are literal, others require reasoning / knowledge of concepts such as biggest / youngest, prepositions, colours or general knowledge.

This is an interactive book I made for a ‘Community’ / ‘People who help us’ topic. I printed and laminated all of the pages and stuck velcro on the who / doing / what symbols underneath each picture. I printed the last 3 pages twice, cutting out the cards from one version and using the other version as a base page, on which to keep the cars when not in use. I include 2 options of this book - one with more text (i.e. ‘What is the policeman doing?’) and the other kept simple (i.e. ‘Who doing what?’) I’d be happy to change the frame colours if you use a different colour system for the categories. Feel free to message me. Used for children and young people with ASD / SALT / Learning Disabilities.

Children used these to complete sentences I wrote on the whiteboard (we were reading The Little Polar Bear). There are 2 worksheets for children - identify a simile from a choice of 4 names pictures. There are a final 2 sheets using a visual mindmap to suggest alternative words for ‘cold’ and ‘worried’. Saved in PDF and in Publisher. Used in primary but also suitable for SEN / KS3.
