We're working with Prof Barry Carpenter CBE and teachers Alison Erskine and Jenny Hawkes to develop two new stories to support all primary school children – mainstream and SEN – in their return to school. Lenny and Lily in Lockdown and Lenny and Lily Return to School will help children make sense of their experiences, communicate their feelings and prepare for more change as they go back to the classroom – and they will be available completely free of charge.
We are all having to adapt and learn quickly during the coronavirus pandemic. For supporters and professionals, sharing information, resources and learning is vital to ensuring that people with learning disabilities and autism receive the best possible care and support in these challenging times.
Here we share links to some useful webinar recordings.
Picture stories about coronavirus - Beyond Words Chair and Founder Baroness Hollins talks about the need behind our new resources for people with learning disabilities.
Having someone with an intellectual (learning) disability or an autistic child at home during coronavirus is a real blessing and an invitation to spend our days more mindfully but creating a new shared rhythm may take families like mine a little longer.
