We held a workshop on Tuesday 12th October on designing timetables for children with severe and profound intellectual disabilities and PMLD (profound and multiple learning disabilities) to support wellbeing and learning.

Thank you to Andrew Colley for this review:
‘I have just read a wonderful booklet produced by the Community interest Company NAC (Non-verbal affective care) called ‘Timetables for learners with profound and multiple learning difficulties’.
It is clear, accessible, wise and not afraid to challenge orthodoxy in this area. I don’t think I have ever read anything so useful on timetabling in my whole career. This document deserves to become a key resource in every special school (or indeed every school). If I had had something like this when I started out it would have saved a lot of time and heartache! I recommend it strongly.’
