The Emotional Toolkit for Pupils with SEND

The Emotional Toolkit for Pupils with SEND is an essential wellbeing resource for educators supporting young people with SEND, providing creative, evidence-based strategies to help pupils develop self-awareness, express their emotions and build resilience.

With photocopiable resources designed for use in whole-class, small group or one-to-one settings, this book ensures that emotional support can be tailored to individual needs. Using this book, your pupils will have the ability to recognise and name their emotions, make sense of their sensory needs, develop coping strategies that they can apply in different situations and much more. Each chapter includes assessment tools that gain pupils’ views in a meaningful way and contribute to a child’s Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP). With its hands-on approach and practical application, this will be your go-to SEND resource.

Grounded in psychological theory and adapted therapeutic approaches such as CBT, The Emotional Toolkit for Pupils with SEND equips teaching staff with tools to develop emotional literacy and self-regulation in learners with mild to moderate learning disabilities. This resource offers flexible, easy-to-use activities that help teachers save time. Many are ready to photocopy, while others can be adapted to meet individual pupils’ needs and interests. It also includes clear, practical guidance for supporting learners with more complex needs, helping to create an inclusive classroom where every student can thrive.
