Supporting learners with SEND and learning differences

Hands-on construction gives many learners with SEND and learning differences a concrete way to plan, build and test an idea. Junior Polydron pieces are soft and designed for younger children, so joining them supports fine motor control. Children can copy a model or build freely at their own pace, and adding figures and wheels gives a clear purpose and a motivating result.

The Junior Polydron Class Set is available to order from The Dyslexia Shop, a UK specialist in resources for SEND and learning differences, for use in nursery, school or at home.
