SENBOX Component

SENBOX helps schools make inclusion easier to deliver, give teachers practical support and use school resources more effectively. Schools can start with a specific learner, a classroom challenge or improvements across the whole programme.

1. SENBOX lets you understand a learner’s needs before deciding how to support them.

For example: Your school is considering a new enrolment and needs to understand the classroom adjustments, supervision and specialist support the learner may require.

Services include:

• Observation and assessment of communication, learning, behaviour, independence, sensory needs and daily living skills.

• Review of supervision needs, safety skills and environmental factors.

• Recommendations to inform staffing, classroom support and placement decisions.

 

2. SENBOX lets you turn an individual education plan into practical daily teaching.

For example: A learner has an IEP, but teachers need clearer guidance on which activities to use, how to provide support and what progress to record.

Services include:

• Development and review of individual education plans (IEPs) with measurable goals.

• Teaching strategies, activities and resources connected to each goal.

• Clear ways to record progress and adjust the programme as the learner develops.

 

3. SENBOX lets you include learners with different abilities in the same classroom topic.

For example: During a lesson about money, some learners calculate change while others identify coins, match prices or practise making a purchase.

Services include:

• Adaptation of classroom activities by difficulty, language and level of support.

• Visual instructions, accessible layouts and alternative ways to respond.

• Printable, digital and hands-on options that keep learners connected to the lesson.

 

4. SENBOX lets you provide targeted teaching when classroom support alone is not enough.

For example: A learner needs individual reading support, while another needs a small group to practise communication and participation with peers.

Services include:

• One-to-one intervention for academic learning, communication, behaviour, independence and other priority skills.

• Small-group programmes for learning, cooperation, social communication and classroom routines.

• Intensive or short-term programmes for focused assessment, intervention or preparation for another setting.

 

5. SENBOX lets you give learners more effective ways to communicate.

For example: A learner understands classroom activities but needs a reliable way to ask for help, make choices or tell an adult they need a break.

Services include:

• Support with speech, pictures, symbols, communication boards and digital communication systems.

• Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) resources and vocabulary development.

• Guidance for teachers, support staff and families on using communication approaches consistently.

 

6. SENBOX lets you understand behaviour and plan more informed support.

For example: A learner regularly becomes distressed during transitions. Your team needs to understand the pattern and identify changes that could help.

Services include:

• Structured recording of what happens before, during and after a behaviour.

• Review of frequency, duration, intensity and environmental conditions.

• Proactive strategies involving communication, teaching, environmental adjustments and alternative skills.

 

7. SENBOX lets you teach independence through everyday school and community activities.

For example: Your school wants learners to participate more independently in lunch, personal care, shopping or community outings.

Services include:

• Teaching of eating, dressing, toileting, hygiene, cooking, money use and other daily living skills.

• Step-by-step instruction, with assistance adjusted as skills develop.

• Social and community practice, including greetings, waiting, sharing, leisure activities and visits to local facilities.

 

8. SENBOX lets you account for sensory and movement needs when planning learning.

For example: A learner finds a busy classroom difficult to manage or needs help developing the physical skills required for classroom activities.

Services include:

• Review of how sensory needs, movement and the environment affect participation.

• Purposeful regulation activities and environmental adjustments.

• Fine motor, gross motor, balance and coordination activities, with options suited to the learner and setting.

 

9. SENBOX lets you give shadow teachers clear responsibilities and a shared direction.

For example: Several learners have individual classroom support, but each support worker uses different strategies and records different information.

Services include:

• Defined learner goals, support strategies and expectations for recording progress.

• Coordination between shadow teachers, classroom teachers and the special education team.

• Guidance on adjusting assistance to build independence, with provision of individual classroom support where appropriate.

 

10. SENBOX lets you bring specialist expertise into your programme when you need it.

For example: Your team needs additional input on communication, behaviour or sensory needs, but the school does not employ every relevant specialist.

Services include:

• Help accessing and coordinating multidisciplinary input around a learner’s needs.

• Consultation and case reviews to examine progress, barriers and next steps.

• Ongoing case management to connect professional recommendations, teaching priorities and family communication.

 

11. SENBOX lets your teachers find suitable learning activities without creating everything themselves.

For example: A planned activity is too difficult for a learner. The teacher needs a more accessible option that still addresses the learning objective.

Services include:

• A resource library covering academic learning, communication, matching, sequencing, fine motor skills and daily routines.

• Printable and physical materials, plus learner-facing activities through the SENBOX app.

• Custom resource development, with physical production and shipping where appropriate.

 

12. SENBOX lets you see which teaching resources your school already has and where to find them.

For example: A teacher selects a matching activity and can check whether the required materials are available, where they are stored or whether another class is using them.

Services include:

• Connections between physical resources, teaching activities and lesson plans.

• Resource location and availability information within the planning process.

• Organisation that supports resource sharing and helps avoid unnecessary purchases.

 

13. SENBOX lets you give parents clearer progress reports with less preparation work.

For example: At a parent meeting, your team can explain what the learner has practised, what has changed and how much assistance they still need.

Services include:

• Recording of performance, independence, prompts, time, observations and learning evidence during teaching.

• Structured progress reports showing development and next priorities.

• Organised evidence for parent meetings and IEP reviews, reducing the need to reconstruct months of work.

 

14. SENBOX lets you keep a learner’s information connected and easier to find.

For example: A teacher needs the learner’s latest assessment, current goals and effective teaching strategies without searching through separate folders and staff records.

Services include:

• Organised learner records containing IEPs, assessments, observations, behaviour information and reports.

• Assessment history connected with current goals and teaching evidence.

• SENBOX platform support linking learner records, planning, resources, data and staff processes.

 

15. SENBOX lets you help families reinforce selected school goals at home.

For example: A learner is practising a communication system or toileting routine at school, and the family wants practical guidance on using the same approach at home.

Services include:

• Clear communication about learning priorities, activities and progress.

• Home programmes, visual supports, communication resources and everyday routines.

• Practical guidance that connects selected school goals with family life.

 

16. SENBOX lets you build your team’s special education skills through everyday practice.

For example: Teachers need help adapting lessons or supporting communication, while newer staff need clear methods they can apply immediately.

Services include:

• Training in lesson adaptation, AAC, behaviour support and data collection.

• Practical guidance on breaking skills into teachable steps and gradually reducing adult assistance.

• Ongoing development linked to staff needs, including effective use of SENBOX resources and systems.

 

17. SENBOX lets you maintain continuity when learners change teachers, classrooms or schools.

For example: A learner moves to a new class, and the receiving teacher needs to understand their communication methods, routines and successful support strategies.

Services include:

• Transition planning and preparation for new routines or environments.

• Identification of skills the learner will need in the next setting.

• Staff handovers supported by current goals, learning history and practical recommendations.

 

18. SENBOX lets you strengthen your inclusion programme while reducing avoidable work and costs.

For example: Your school is supporting more learners and needs consistent teaching practices, clearer staff responsibilities and better oversight across classrooms.

Services include:

• Programme reviews to identify strengths, gaps and opportunities to use staff time and resources more effectively.

• Implementation of shared workflows, responsibilities and quality expectations.

• Leadership oversight of learner progress, programme delivery and areas requiring additional support.

These next options focus on more specific school situations within the services already described.

 

19. SENBOX lets you turn classroom attendance into more active participation.

For example: A learner attends lessons but spends much of the time waiting, watching others or working on activities that are too easy or too difficult.

Services include:

• Review of the learner’s interests, current skills, communication and barriers to participation.

• Activities matched to an appropriate level of challenge.

• Practical teaching strategies that give the learner more opportunities to respond, practise and participate.

 

20. SENBOX lets you change an activity without losing the purpose of the lesson.

For example: A learner cannot access a written sorting task. The teacher needs a matching, hands-on or digital alternative that works towards the same objective.

Services include:

• Alternative activities connected to the learning objective.

• Different difficulty levels, instructions and response methods.

• Access to available printable, digital and physical resources so teachers can adjust their approach during teaching.

 

21. SENBOX lets you support reading and writing while keeping learners connected to age-relevant topics.

For example: A class is studying animals, but one learner needs simpler text, visual choices or an alternative to writing full sentences.

Services include:

• Individualised reading and writing activities matched to current skills.

• Adjusted language, layout, task complexity and response methods.

• Targeted teaching alongside accessible versions of classroom materials.

 

22. SENBOX lets you connect mathematics with skills learners use in daily life.

For example: A learner can identify numbers in a worksheet but needs help using money during a purchase.

Services include:

• Individualised numeracy teaching connected to practical goals.

• Visual, physical, printable and digital activities at different levels.

• Opportunities to practise money use and shopping skills within appropriate school or community activities.

 

23. SENBOX lets you make unfamiliar school routines easier to understand.

For example: A learner needs clearer preparation for moving between classrooms, joining a group activity or following the lunchtime routine.

Services include:

• Social stories, visual instructions and resources explaining what will happen.

• Breakdown of routines into manageable teaching steps.

• Practice linked to communication, participation and independence goals.

 

24. SENBOX lets you see the difference between completing a task and completing it independently.

For example: A learner consistently finishes an activity, but only after repeated adult prompts. Your team needs to understand what the learner can do without that assistance.

Services include:

• Recording of the type and amount of prompting used during activities.

• Review of independence and performance across repeated opportunities.

• Guidance on adjusting teaching and gradually reducing assistance as skills develop.

 

25. SENBOX lets you use learning evidence to decide what to change next.

For example: A learner has worked on the same goal for several weeks. Teachers need to decide whether to change the activity, adjust the support or review the goal.

Services include:

• Review of teaching records, observations, assessment information and learning evidence.

• Consultation to identify barriers and clarify the next teaching priorities.

• Updates to activities, strategies and individual plans based on the team’s findings.

 

26. SENBOX lets you make digital learning part of a purposeful educational programme.

For example: Your school uses tablets, but teachers want activities that support each learner’s goals and connect with classroom teaching.

Services include:

• SENBOX app activities for reading, writing, communication and other structured learning areas.

• Digital social stories and activities supporting everyday routines.

• Connections between digital activities, individual goals and suitable physical or printable learning tasks.

 

27. SENBOX lets you check whether learners can use their skills beyond the original teaching situation.

For example: A learner can request help during an individual session but needs support to do the same with another teacher or in the classroom.

Services include:

• Opportunities to practise selected skills with different people and in different settings.

• Shared communication resources and teaching strategies for relevant adults.

• School, home and community activities that help learners apply what they have learned.

 

28. SENBOX lets you establish more consistent inclusion support across school locations.

For example: Your school operates across several campuses, and each team uses different approaches to planning, teaching and documentation.

Services include:

• Review of existing practice to identify strengths and inconsistencies.

• Shared expectations for planning, teaching evidence, reporting and staff responsibilities.

• Programme implementation and staff development that help teams use common approaches while retaining individual learner goals
