Inclusive Learning for SEND pupils & Schools

Engaging, sensory-rich workshops tailored to your pupils’ needs

At Teach Rex, we believe every child deserves a truly memorable learning experience. Our dinosaur, dragon, and animal-themed educational workshops are carefully designed to be inclusive, interactive, and sensory-rich, ensuring pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) feel safe, inspired, and empowered.

How we do it

Designed with Inclusion in Mind

Many pupils with SEND benefit from sensory-aware approaches to learning. That’s why every Teach Rex workshop is created to be flexible, calm, and engaging, with space for pupils to participate at their own pace.

We work with pupils across the full spectrum of SEND, including those with sensory impairments, autism, ADHD, and physical disabilities.

  • Visual stimulation is carefully managed through our life-like creatures and bold presentations, enough to capture attention without overwhelming.
  • Tactile elements encourage sensory exploration, from textured props to interactive costume materials.
  • Adjustable sound levels and quieter delivery options are available for pupils who are sensitive to sound.
  • A quiet breakout space is always available if children need a break from group activities.
  • Predictable session structure is communicated clearly, using visual prompts and simple transitions to help reduce anxiety.

Communication and Interaction That Works

Our delivery style is shaped by a deep understanding of how children communicate in different ways. The Teach Rex team are experienced in working with non-verbal and neurodiverse pupils and adapt their interactions accordingly.

We support:

  • Makaton-friendly delivery
  • PECS-compatible materials
  • Interactive storytelling to encourage engagement at each child’s pace
  • Positive, patient communication grounded in classroom experience

Positive Outcomes We See Time and Time Again

In SEN schools and inclusion units across the UK, our workshops have helped to:

  • Build confidence and self-esteem
  • Spark language development in previously non-verbal children
  • Encourage peer interaction and social engagement
  • Inspire curiosity and a positive relationship with learning

“Children who rarely engage were fully immersed, smiling, reaching out, and participating in ways we hadn’t seen before.”

Teach Rex Partnered up with Widgit!

Teach Rex has teamed up with Widgit, a leading software company passionate about symbols-based communication. Widgit empowers individuals with learning difficulties, autism, and speech impairments to communicate more independently using symbols.

Their tools, Widgit Online and InPrint, give educators, therapists, and caregivers access to a powerful symbol library—making it easy to create personalised resources like flashcards, vocabulary lists, and symbol-supported books. Together, Teach Rex and Widgit are helping students better understand the world around them.
