We believe every child has the potential to learn.
If given, the right tools are available, in the right place, the right time, in the right sequence.
If teachers are aware enough of their students' needs and know what the next most promising tool is.
When is a strategy working/failing, and what other strategies could be used?
SENBOX is supporting teachers to hold the answers to those questions at any given moment.

Developer / Social Activist & Philanthropreneur
Over the past ten years, I have made it my mission to build an affordable educational framework for children with intellectual disabilities that is
an evidence-based, high-quality strategic learning environment that provides specialised AAC tools and improve DATA Evidence
called SENBOX.
Why we build SENBOX
With the ever-growing demand for intervention specialists in the rising numbers of cases globally, while addressing the substantial issues that all children face within the S.E.N.D community, such as high intervention costs, teacher stress and workload, the complexity of the intervention, demand for data evidence, parents and children’s rights, and the risk of short outcomes there is often a misalignment.
In order to support teachers and students effectively, we started to optimise the intervention process by offering the EBP knowledge, together with teaching materials that are concisely planned by our team and can be uniquely integrated by teachers based on case data via software.
SEN = Special Educational Needs
BOX = Tool Box Approach.
it is imperative to have all the tools right where you are and when you need them.
Extraordinary Problems – Call for Extraordinary Solutions
The SENBOX Framework was systematically planned to break down barriers with specific solutions.
Barrier => Solution
Lack of Learning Tools => SENBOX Framework consisted of 35.000+ teaching tools.
The difficulty of SEND feasibility => Framework implementation style.
Localised approach => International Standards learning based on condition, not geographies.
Misconceptions & poor implementation => Lack of Evidence-Based Practice, Evidence & data-driven.
Time constraints & low implementation rate => We provide pre-planned adjustable session packs. Ready to Use.
In-accessible => Must be: Affordable, Easy to transport, store, organise and in use.
Rote Learning => We provide 45+ topics on 900 levels to create broader individualised learning.
The Special Education Sector is facing its own unique challenges; most schools, centres and classrooms are unable to cope with the demand.
Improving the quality of life for a child with needs is not simply an issue of funding, although getting funded and using it correctly is one of the main barriers for development.
However, the problem is even more complex and can often not be solved by a small team of teachers. It is not uncommon for teachers in their pursuit to meet the intervention criteria may feel overwhelmed and even burned out.
If the education community wants to provide a better quality of life for students – offering more support for families – and meet the demands of globally rising numbers of ASD cases - the current system will not suffice, and additional support structures must be deployed to improve outcomes.
How do we see to achieve inclusion?
SENBOX brings more support and more structures to more teachers & parents
= to more students for a better quality of life.
Affordable and effective = more hands.
SENBOX’s inter-exchangeable parts are designed to be set up, adjusted, and partially updated, saving time and costs for the school, which in turn helps parents afford a high standard of specialised education.
Reduce stress and workload (teacher, parents, students)
SENBOX applies sophisticated technologies to create software solutions that support teachers’ and specialists' efforts in their intervention and apply team standards that can reduce the workload and stress on the job.
Protect children’s rights and parents’ rights.
SENBOX arrives from the EBP (Evidence-Based Practices). Therefore, the SENBOX framework is not an entirely new method of intervention. SENBOX guides how to implement the EBP standards, child protection acts, and international educational standards to obtain the expected results. We also aim to inform parents about their rights and work with their consent to their child’s education.

“SENBOX has a clear strength in implementing Environmental Supports. For example, staff are excellent at observing all areas of the classroom, and the visual supports are robust throughout all classrooms. Moreover, the SENBOX staff are especially skilled at the implementation of individualized student schedules/calendars throughout the day.
… A major strength of the Senbox module is the heavy emphasis on communication objectives. … all staff implemented it consistently throughout the student’s environment.
… Students are not left to sit without instruction and staff consistently provided attentional cues before starting instruction with each student. … Instructional Supports include the fact that all staff are clearly engaged in instruction and/or preparation of activities when not engaged with a student. Additionally, data are collected on multiple student objectives. “

“During my school visit, I was immediately impressed by the positive culture; the staff and students all seemed to be truly happy to be at the school. The physical setting is warm and inviting from the moment one enters through the front gate. In addition, your learning program, with its extraordinary number of materials, is extremely impressive. The school program is one that should be a model for special schools throughout Vietnam and the rest of the world.” Mr. Barry Bullis, July 2022
