In summary, these materials are versatile and


adaptable for a wide range of SEN categories. By
incorporating principles of accessibility, such as clear
visuals, tactile elements, simplified language, and
multiple sensory modalities, educators can create an
inclusive classroom environment where all students,
regardless of their learning needs, can engage with
and benefit from the materials for English language
instruction.
