Thousands
of pupils across England have a range of complex care and learning needs,
something
teachers
need to take into account when in the classroom.
According
to official government figures, 12.2% of pupils in England require special educational
needs
(SEN) provision of some kind.
The
number of pupils with an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan has also risen
each year since
2017,
with the most common needs among those with Autistic Spectrum Disorders and
speech,
language
and communication difficulties.
In
order to help pupils with SEN to achieve the best learning outcomes possible,
here are some of
the
resources available to help support learning in primary, secondary and other
school settings.
Twinkl
With
a wide range of activities and resources designed specifically for people with
SEND, Twinkl can
be
a go‐to source when it comes to supporting learning.
Teachers
can access sensory resources and stories, as well as tools to support
communication and
interaction,
many of which can be printed as PDFs or accessed via a membership.
Further
resources to aid those with social, emotional and mental health difficulties
are also available,
as
are tools to support those with specific disabilities and conditions.
Education and Training Foundation
The
Excellence Gateway is home to a wide range of resources designed to enable
quality teaching to
meet
the needs of learners with special education needs and disabilities from the
Education and
Training
Foundation.
Here
teachers can find numerous different guides and other resources focused on
teaching
methodology
and processes that can drive better learning outcomes for pupils.
In
addition, there’s ample resources to support professional development so that
teaching staff can
be
prepared for whatever challenges they may face in the classroom.
Tes
Lessons
for pupils with SEN often need to be planned differently to take into account
reduced
attention
spans and other learning requirements.
As
well as providing guidance on how best to understand the different learning
difficulties that they
may
be faced with, Tes also has plenty of useful classroom resources.
Many
of the activities are available for free or at low‐cost and can be used to
create fun and
engaging
lessons that result in a positive and inclusive classroom environment.
Inclusive Teach
Offering
a variety of free sensory SEN learning resources that can be downloaded or
printed out for
use
in the classroom, Inclusive Teach can be an invaluable tool for SEN teachers.
The
resources cover a range of topics such as space, transport, life skills and
historical events,
enabling
teachers to tailor lesson plans based on whatever part of the curriculum they
are teaching.
