Some ideas which I have found useful recently are
Black Sheep Barrier worksheets (for listening), Black Sheep 'Think about
it' worksheets (for inference and reasoning), Black Sheep 'Talk about
school /friends / home (for discussing difficult situations and possible
solutions) and 'Start Thinking'- a book by Marcelo Staricoff and Alan
Rees published by Imaginative Minds Ltd. All of these are aimed at
Primary (Black Sheep is younger Primary)and all provide useful resources
for T.A.s All activities could be used to support curriculum areas. None
are step-by-step programmes but could be used as regular activities that
wouldn't need lots of planning or resources.

Ok
  have read all of the previous postings.  Agree with you Amanda. Well
done!
  Now back to the practical ideas.
  I'm still working within the 3-5 age range & like to give SenCo's a
range of practical ideas to help their children with EBD & SEN (Am an
advisory teacher which I know some of you know, previously a SenCo)  At
the moment both the Madelaine Portwood (Dysphraxia) book and Time to
Talk are 2 SenCo's current favourites as they can be handed to their
(very knowledgeable) TA's who then implement parts of the program in
discussions with the teacher / SenCo.
  Is anyone else coming across other books at the moment that give step
by step program ideas for any areas of SEN?  Ready, Steady, Go is also a
hit with those who need more attachment work at a young age as is some
parts of hop,skip,jump for PE.
  Would be grateful for more ideas (as always)
  Oh, by the way.  Have recommended this site to quite a few SenCo's to
get practical ideas from and solve problems.  That's how useful I've
found it
  Cheers
  Mags
