SEN Learning Hub
Gentle guidance, reassurance, and resources for families supporting children with additional needs.
At Curious Paws Learning Co, we believe every child learns in their own unique way.
Whether your child is autistic, has sensory processing differences, ADHD, learning delays, or simply learns best through movement and play - you’ll find ideas here that honour their individuality.
Every activity we share includes optional SEN adaptations, helping you create calm, achievable learning moments at home.
Our Approach to SEN Learning
We design each activity and printable pack through the lens of real-life experience - as parents of children with additional needs ourselves.
Our focus is always on:
-
Reducing overwhelm with calm, structured visuals.
-
Encouraging independence through predictability and sensory support.
-
Adapting rather than restricting activities.
-
Celebrating effort, not perfection.
Because “learning” might look like building a tower, pouring water, or simply joining for a moment - and that’s enough.
💚 Everyday SEN strategies
Small adjustments can make a world of difference. Here are a few simple ideas we use daily:
-
Visual Schedules: Show what’s happening now and next to reduce anxiety.
-
Sensory Breaks: Build in movement, deep pressure, or quiet time between tasks.
-
High-Interest Hooks: Link learning to your child’s passions (numbers, textures, trains, cats - whatever sparks joy!).
-
Short Bursts: 5–10 minutes of focus is still progress.
-
Choice Boards: Offer two options instead of open-ended “what do you want to do?”
You’ll see these strategies woven into our activities and printables: always optional, always flexible.

💚 Why Our SEN Resources Will Always Be Free
Raising and supporting children with additional needs can be overwhelming - emotionally, physically, and financially.
We believe practical tools that help families feel calmer, more organised, and more connected should never be behind a paywall.
These resources are free because every child deserves understanding, every parent deserves support, and every family deserves calm - no matter their circumstances.
Our SEN resource library includes visual schedules, communication cards, sensory play ideas, and calm learning templates, all designed to reduce overwhelm and help your child thrive.
These resources are designed to support a variety of needs - from sensory seekers and visual learners to children who thrive with structure and predictability.
Our SEN printable library will include:
🐾 Visual Schedules: now/next cards, calm morning routines, and home education timetables.
💬 Communication Cards: emotions, needs, and sensory preferences made visual.
🪴Sensory Play Guides: simple, low-cost setups that regulate and engage.
📖 Calm Learning Templates: calm down corner visuals, task strips, visual prompts, and gentle “how-to” guides.
🪶 Parent Planning Tools: quick-reference sheets for tracking learning, behaviour, and sensory notes.
Our goal is to make learning feel lighter - for you and your child. 💚
💌 A Note from Us
We know that home education with SEN can feel isolating, exhausting, and overwhelming - but you’re doing more than enough.
Learning doesn’t have to look like worksheets and sitting still. It can look like play, connection, and small steps forward.
We see you. You’re part of this journey with us - and you belong here. 🐾
