Free Printable SEN Teaching Resources

Free Printable SEND Teaching Resources and Activities.

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.

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.

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.

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.
