This is the place to look if you want practical help with lesson planing or just want to find some new ideas. These resources have all been used with SEN students and the aim is to use ICT to enrich the curriculum. These resources will continue to build up to provide help and ideas of how to use ICT in your teaching. If you would like to contribute something you have produced we would be very grateful. Finding specific SEN teaching resources on the Internet is difficult as there are a number of very scattered SEN related sites but not many actually offer lesson plans and practical resources. If you know about sites that offer practical resources please let us know.
