Anxiety : helping children with SEN and EBD to understand and celebrate difference

The 'Get to Know Me' series is a series of resources aimed at children with SEN or EBD and the professionals who support them in the mainstream primary classroom.

Each resource concentrates on a different condition and comprises:a traditional children's picturebook - designed to support the individual child but also to be used in whole class teaching, to encourage an empathetic and inclusive environment. an interactive work book. This is a workbook version of the story in which indvidual children are encouraged to interact with the story in a creative way - through writing, drawing, scrap booking, collage, activities etc. (templates and cut outs will be made available online).

Children are more likely to understand and process information if they have had to actively engage with it.

The workbook will aid long-term recall and increase the level of understanding. a practitioner guide created for key adults (teachers, therapists and parents) by a child psychologist, with activities specific to each condition.

These activities will link to the books and offer practical tools and strategies to support the child and those around them in addition to the information specific to the condition to improve understanding of a child's needs to promote empathy and acceptance.
