Transitions. Supporting PMLD & SEND Learners Through Classroom Transitions and Beyond.
This Transition Day resource supports learners who are staying in their current class for another year, learners who are moving to a new class, and those preparing for wider transitions beyond the classroom. Rooted in emotional safety, predictability and multisensory engagement, it offers calm, attuned routines that help learners recognise who is staying, who is moving, and how their environment is evolving.
A clear plan of the day is included to support smooth, predictable transitions, giving learners and staff a steady structure to follow and reducing uncertainty throughout the session.
The resource also includes Transition Day strategies and activities. For learners remaining in their familiar class, the resource provides gentle opportunities to notice new peers, maintain continuity and feel secure within a stable team. For learners moving to a new class, it offers clear sequencing, steady introductions and sensory bridges that support confidence and early relationship building.
Across all pathways, the resource emphasises slow pacing, familiar cues and meaningful noticing moments that help learners explore new spaces, meet new people and connect with emerging routines at their own pace, ensuring every learner feels safe, valued and supported throughout change.

Vesak - A Sensory Story Told Through the Eight Senses invites learners into the calm, symbolic world of Vesak, the Buddhist day that marks the Buddha’s birth, enlightenment, and passing.
Using sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, movement, body awareness, and inner sensing, each moment is grounded in authentic Vesak imagery including lantern light, lotus flowers, Bodhi leaves, temple sounds and other sensory stimuli offering gentle, accessible pathways for sensory engagement.

Pupil Voice An A to Z of Sensory Approaches for PMLD and SEND Learners in Inclusive Classrooms
Just Released! Pupil voice refers to the meaningful involvement of learners in expressing preferences, making choices, influencing decisions, and shaping their educational experience. For some learners with PMLD and SEND, pupil voice includes: • Eye gaze • Facial expressions • Body movements • Vocalisations • Gestures • Sensory preferences • Behaviour as communication • Patterns of engagement or withdrawal Pupil voice is not dependent on speech or symbolic communication. It is about recognising all forms of expression and ensuring that learners have opportunities to influence: • Activities • Routines • Environments • Interactions • Resources • Sensory experiences • Transitions • Daily choices This resource provides practical, accessible ways to embed pupil voice into everyday practice. Every learner communicates. Every learner expresses preferences, makes choices, and shows us what matters to them. For some learners, communication may not be spoken, symbolic, or conventional — but it is always present, meaningful, and must be recognised. Pupil voice is not about asking questions and waiting for words. It is about noticing, interpreting, responding, and shaping environments where every learner can influence their world. This book was created to support practitioners, teachers, support staff, therapists, and families in honouring the voices of learners who communicate through movement, expression, sensory engagement, and behaviour. Grounded in the UK legal and policy context, the book reflects the expectations set out in the SEND Code of Practice, the Equality Act 2010, and the wider rights-based framework that places pupil voice at the heart of inclusive education. It supports practitioners to meet their statutory duties while honouring each learner’s autonomy, agency, and emotional safety. The guidance aligns with best practice across specialist settings, offering practical ways to embed pupil voice within everyday routines, sensory experiences, and personalised communication systems. This A–Z collection offers simple, sensory aware activities that help practitioners notice, interpret, and respond to the many ways learners with PMLD and SEND communicate. Each activity focuses on a different cue, action, or sensory behaviour, giving clear guidance on what to look for, how to support it, and how to build it into everyday practice. The aim is to make pupil voice visible, valued, and woven gently into routines, interactions, and learning moments across the day.
