SEND-friendly adaptations (examples)

Depending on the child’s needs, teachers often use:

  • Smaller steps and shorter sequences
  • Visual prompts and simple language
  • Clear start/stop signals and predictable routines
  • Choice (seated/standing options, low/high intensity)
  • Slower pace, extra practice time, or reduced sensory load
  • Roles that support team play (leader/helper/timekeeper)

How schools use imoves for SEND support

Schools typically use imoves in three ways:

Whole Class:
Daily movement breaks that help everyone with focus, mood, and transitions.

Targeted (small group):
Short, repeatable routines to build confidence, coordination, and positive behaviour routines.

Individual (as part of support planning):
Specific activities that match a child’s needs, with simple review notes so staff can keep what works and tweak what doesn’t.
