Good engagement methods (GEMS)
These are a series of approaches to support professionals working with children and young people with SEND.
They address and support some of the core challenges that professionals may encounter within their classrooms/settings with children with SEND.
Within each GEM, you will find activities which are versatile and that can be adapted to suit your school setting, in primary and secondary.
GEMS can be used to support individual children or may be suitable for small group in within a whole class setting.
