Frequently Asked Questions
There are three options when purchasing the Sensory Curriculum.
1. Termly
This version shows you a term at a time, rolling out to you automatically every 90 days from the date you purchased. The first term topic is "All about me". You will receive the long term, short term planning, the printable resources and a FREE training course to get you started.
2. Yearly
This version shows you a full year at a time, rolling out to you automatically every 365 days from the date you purchased. You will receive the long term, short term planning, the printable resources for all three terms of Year A and a FREE training course to get you started.
3. Full Four Years
This version shows you all four years of the curriculum right away, rolling out to you every 4 years from the date you purchased. You will receive the long term, short term planning, the printable resources for all four years and a FREE training course to get you started.
So which is right for me? It depends what your priority is.
Budget: You may want to test a termly version first before committing to the full curriculum.
Finance: You may want to commit to the full curriculum now so you can better manage finances and avoid termly or yearly costs.
Flexibility: You may want to commit to the full curriculum because you would like an overview to better adapt and pick from to align this curriculum with your current curriculum.
There is no wrong or right way, which is why we like to offer options.

Music, Drama and Art are planned for in the long term planning, but are integrated into all other subjects to allow for a full curriculum across the week.

We chose to work on a curriculum for these levels as after this stage you can access National Curriculum with adaptations, where as there isn't much as all offered to this pre-national curriculum group for sensory based learners where EYFS and continuous provision is not appropriate or meeting their need.
This is created for ease of use.
This suits home educators, EOTAS and Special Education tutors.
This also suits SENCOS, Mainstream Teachers, Special Education Teachers and Teaching Assistants who may find themselves needing to adapt the National Curriculum to suit sensory based learners.
All of the learning objectives come from Connecting Steps BSquared Programme.
This is a Special Education suitable assessment software.
