What’s inside: 108 printable A4 pages

• Adult companion: guides for parents and guardians and for teachers and support staff, a simple session plan, neuro-affirming language swaps and a support-levels key.
• 8 skill sections, 66 activities: Understanding Myself; Sensory and Regulation; Attention, Planning and Transitions; Social Communication and Play; Maths; English and Literacy; Independence and Everyday Learning; Confidence and Self-Advocacy.
• Every activity has the same simple format: why, what you need, one clear instruction, an easier version, an extension, a no-writing option (point, sign, draw, AAC or adult scribe) and an everyday follow-up, with Explore / Practise / Extend levels.
• Everyday supports: All About Me passport, Yes/No/Help/Stop cards, first–then board, morning, after-school and bedtime routines, break menu, calm-space planner, sensory map and social stories.
• Progress tracking: starting-point profile, skills trackers for social and communication, emotional regulation, sensory, maths, English and literacy, fine motor and independence (what’s going well, needs work on, next step, date and who observed), weekly observation log, individual skill record, home–school communication sheet, handover note, goal-setting pages, 4-week review, celebration page and certificate.

Our approach

The workbook is neuro-affirming and strengths-based. It never asks for compulsory eye contact, sitting still, hiding stims or “good behaviour” scores, and it treats overwhelm as a reason to reduce demands. Progress is recorded with support levels (with a model, with visual support, with shared help, independently in this situation) rather than single scores. The content was informed by 27 referenced sources listed in the workbook, including NICE guidelines, the SEND Code of Practice, EYFS Development Matters, NHS and National Autistic Society guidance, the Education Endowment Foundation and peer-reviewed research on visual supports, social stories and neurodiversity-affirming practice. These organisations have not reviewed or endorsed this workbook.
