Help Tokens
Many of our pupils with special needs have difficulty with their academic work and therefore may struggle to ask for help, especially if they are in the mainstream classroom. Therefore they will need a structure to easily allow them to ask for help. These Help Tokens are aimed at assisting the pupil to visually let the teacher/SNA know that they need some help.

Wait Tokens
Many of our pupils with special needs have difficulty taking turns or waiting – they can tend to favour immediate gratification. Therefore they will need to experience having to wait for something, even if this is for less than a minute. These Wait Tokens are aimed at helping the pupil to visually see that they have to wait a moment.
