This Friday is School Sustainability Day — a chance for schools to focus on protecting the environment and teaching students how to care for the planet. For SEN (Special Educational Needs) schools, it’s a perfect time to engage students in hands-on, meaningful activities that connect them to the world around them.
Special education reading materials about nature, recycling, and conservation can help SEN students understand sustainability in an accessible way. Look for simple books with clear visuals, sensory elements, or interactive features to keep students engaged.
There are many special education resources available to support School Sustainability Day, including:
🌎 Visual schedules for recycling or gardening activities
🌎 Social stories about taking care of the earth
🌎 Sensory-friendly nature crafts or eco-projects
These resources help SEN students actively participate and understand their role in making a difference.
School Sustainability Day isn’t just about one day — it’s about teaching lifelong habits. By using inclusive special education reading and special education resources, SEN schools can help every student, no matter their ability, feel empowered to protect the planet.
