Free Printable SEND Teaching Resources and Activities.
Table of Contents
All our free printable SEN teaching resources are free to use and share. Please also visit our main Free Sensory Story page.
Temu is a great new site for affordable teaching resources. Lots of mine this year come from there. It is great for getting affordable resources for SEN & Attention Autism sessions.
Please feel free to download and use these free printable special education teaching resources (usually in powerpoint) that I have made for my students over the last few years. These are designed to be used as part of a toolkit of thematic downloadable resources, printed and laminated (with Velcro) to use as folder tasks for TEACCH systems for Autistic learners. They can also be used as worksheets for literacy, numeracy, ASDAN evidence etc. Many use widget software symbols to support reluctant or pre-readers.
All these resources are downloadable for free but I would especially value a facebook, twitter or Pinterest share.

SEN Literacy Resources
These preposition worksheets are based on colourful semantics. Language and Communication Commenting Board. This is a great simple literacy activity where the learners comment on the picture.
Download the Symbol supported sentence construction printable worksheets, students can circle the correct words, you could laminate and dry-wipe these or classic cutting and sticking. These are hopefully useful in planning a literacy lesson. They can easily be made interactive through adding pictures of the children.
Emoji Emotions Resources For SEN
Download the Emoji Emotions 3 worksheet bundle here. I used this as an activity to back up emotions work. I printed a lot of the emojis and hid them in a sensory tray. Once the student found one they could tick it off. Included in the bundle is a sheet of printable dominoes. Emotional education resources are so tricky to generalise but i hope these resources facilitate the teaching of emotions to some extent.
New Friends Worksheet
You can stick images of the child and their new friends and classmates onto this sheet. When I did this one child expressed concern about people already being friends.
You can use this to find specific text and images as you look through a paper (local or national). I.e Find a word beginning with “th” find an image of a person etc.
Some of these were worksheets designed around the education aspect of the PREVENT duty. Just general worksheets around the key religions in the UK. At this time I haven’t made up in-depth explanations of each religion. I hope you find these useful in promoting education of beliefs and religions.
Here is an awesome video bingo (well matching as everyone would win but feel free to delete some images to make a bingo) using a fire engine video from Kent Fire and rescue(Click here for youtube link). I love doing these and the students find them really engaging. The black and white page is if you have a student that prefers to match or won’t look at the screen (Click HERE for more). There is also a screenshot from the video used to make a build your own fire engine worksheet or cut and laminate as a jigsaw.
Student voice is essential in developing an online safety (e-safety) policy for SEND. The threats and specific challenges facing autistic children online is not an area that is well enough researched or understood. This communication board may help you find out how the students use the internet.
My most popular resource on TES resources. Here are some simple overwriting sheets to support Read Write Inc click on the speed sounds set you need. These are a faded font for easy overwriting.
One of the most popular free resources on TES is this overwriting number task sheet. Using a dotted font. You can laminate and reuse this as a daily task that facilitates numeracy skills and fine motor skills.
There are many more ASDAN Resources on the ASDAN page.
Click Here to Download Breakfast ASDAN worksheet – Students can create an English or continental breakfast, what makes this lesson even more effctive is if you can use this as a follow up to a practical teaching session to enable the learner to put the lesson in context.
This is a stranger danger/Safer stranger worksheet pack. Widgit symbol supported. Also contains a page for new teachers or carers. They should wear an ID badge etc. Includes the Makaton sign for a stranger and other vocabulary thats important to know.

I hope these free SEN teaching resources have helped you prepare some teaching material and creating a lesson plan no matter what curriculum model you follow. Each pedagogical model or curricula designed for SEND learners is unique and often requires teaching resources to be adapted for each school, classroom or learner to engage with. The core of teaching and learning is, however, the passion of the teacher. I hope this page of resources for teachers helps you create an inclusive classroom with some engaging lesson plans, for more information about teaching strategies see this post. As well as the resources the learning environment is essential here are 5 ways to ensure every learner is able to engage.
