I am a homeschooling mum of a 7 year old child with Asperger’s (and a range of other SEN), as well as a former secondary school/SEN teacher. Gaming is a particular interest of my child, as well as a great many other children, so I figured it would be good to use the topic as a motivational tool to support further learning. It has gone down well with him, so I figured that perhaps others may benefit from it too! I am only just getting started with selling my resources so I would be very grateful for any feedback.
