June is Pride Month — a time to celebrate LGBTQ+ identities and promote inclusion. For SEN (Special Educational Needs) schools, Pride Month is especially important.
Many SEN students already face challenges with social connection. LGBTQ+ students in these settings can feel even more isolated. Pride Month gives schools the chance to show every student they are seen, accepted, and valued.
Inclusive special education reading materials, like picture books and social stories, help students of all abilities understand Pride topics. Visual supports and interactive stories make the themes accessible and meaningful.
There are fantastic special education resources available for Pride Month:
🌈 Social stories about inclusion
🌈 Communication boards with LGBTQ+ symbols
🌈 Lesson plans designed for SEN classrooms
These tools help build empathy, respect, and understanding — not just in June, but all year.
Pride Month reminds us that every student deserves to feel safe, supported, and proud of who they are. By using inclusive special education reading and special education resources, SEN schools can create truly welcoming spaces for all.
