Working from the premise that people with autism are predominantly visual learners, intervention strategies are based around physical and visual structure, schedules, work systems and task organisation. Individualised systems aim to address difficulties with communication, organisation, generalisation, concepts, sensory processing, change and relating to others. Whereas some interventions focus on addressing areas of weakness, the TEACCH approach works with existing strengths and emerging skill areas and employs alternative and augmentative communication techniques in a supportive environment.

SEN assist software has a very clear visual structure with a start and finish.
The child will learn to complete the 6 activities independently on the computer and the work system at the side will show how many tasks they have left to complete. Activities are designed to be quick to avoid frustration.



The work system at the side will show how many tasks they have left to complete.

SEN Assist children learn to use the computer as a tool rather than just a fun activity.

The SEN characters can be used for workstation work systems and the resources make motivating subject linked tasks.


" The SEN Assist software has offered a way of accessing young people who have found traditional interventions un-stimulating. It has allowed the teachers working in our lower ability, largely non-verbal classes to teach literacy and independence skills in a fun and motivating way.

Some pupils have been accessing SEN Assist on a daily basis as a version of TEACCH, completing tasks independently for the first time in their academic careers."

Phil Leach (Head of ICT & Primary, Freemantles, Surrey)

About the creators

SEN Assist was created by a SEN teacher and her Designer/Developer husband who met in 1999, while working together with adults with learning difficulties in America. For more information, contact us on: info@senassist.com

Adele teaches full time in an autism specific school. Her training includes TEACCH, ABA, PECs and intensive interaction. She qualified to teach in 2003 after many years working with special needs children and adults.

"As a teacher it is exhausting constantly reinventing the wheel. I have spent many hours trying to work out what motivates individual ASD students and finding, cutting out and laminating tray tasks.
I wanted to give teachers a functional tool rather than a manual – something they could give a student straight away, see the results and then investigate the theory behind it."
