SEND Behaviour Identification & Adjustment Tool

An evidence-based resource for teachers, SENDCos, and support staff from Early Years Foundation Stage to KS1
This is NOT a diagnostic tool but a practical checklist that links formal SEND diagnoses and observable behaviours to classroom-tested adjustments, helping you support learners with or without a formal diagnosis. Suitable for pupils across EYFS to Key Stage 1, the resource is laid out in a clear, easy-to-use table format, perfect for planning, implementing, and evidencing reasonable adjustments.

Includes Two Versions:
Diagnosis-Focused Version
Uses formal SEND terminology familiar to teachers and SEND professionals, ideal for pupils with formal diagnosis from a qualified professional.

Behaviour-Focused Version
Uses observable behaviours to support early identification and link them to practical classroom strategies, even before formal assessment.
