AccessArt teaching approaches are transferable across different settings, ages and abilities. We recognise that in SEND settings in particular, you will want to sensitively adapt activities and approaches to the unique needs of your audience.
Whilst you will enjoy adapting the majority of our resources, we have a highlighted a selection below which are particularly relevant for learners with special educational needs.
Please get in touch if you would like to contribute to our SEND resources.
