FDE SEN ABC Sessions© provide a carefully structured approach to developing fundamental movement skills in primary school children with special educational needs.
Through engaging activities and games, children enhance their Agility, Balance and Coordination in a supportive and inclusive environment; each session is thoughtfully designed to meet the diverse needs of participants while ensuring they feel comfortable and motivated to participate.
The programme places equal emphasis on physical development and social-emotional growth. As children master new movement patterns and overcome physical challenges, they naturally build self-confidence and resilience.
The sessions incorporate partner and small group activities that foster peer interaction and collaboration, helping children develop crucial social skills alongside their physical abilities. This dual focus on movement and social development creates a comprehensive learning experience that supports children's overall development.
These copyrighted© sessions represent years of specialised expertise in working with SEN children across various settings. The programme has been successfully implemented in primary schools, special educational needs settings, and community groups throughout the East of England and London.
Each session draws upon extensive experience in adaptive physical education and special needs support, ensuring that activities are appropriately challenging yet achievable for all participants.
The proven track record of these sessions in diverse settings demonstrates their effectiveness in supporting children with special educational needs to reach their full potential.
Our sessions are designed to support children with a variety of conditions, including Autism (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Asperger's Syndrome (now part of the Autism spectrum), Down Syndrome, Global Developmental Delay (GDD), and Hypermobility Syndrome (HSD).
Through tailored activities and individualised attention, we help these children build confidence, develop essential skills, and thrive in a supportive and engaging environment. Each session is carefully structured to meet their unique needs, fostering growth and progress in a way that works best for them
We are passionate about supporting children and helping to enhance what physical activities they can access, believing they all can thrive in an environment where they are simply free to be themselves.
Physical education plays a vital role in the holistic development of primary school children, extending far beyond the simple benefits of physical activity. Research has consistently demonstrated a strong correlation between regular physical education and enhanced cognitive function, improved academic performance, and better overall brain development in young learners. The positive impacts of PE are particularly pronounced in children with special educational needs (SEN), where structured physical activities can serve as powerful tools for learning, development, and integration. Studies have shown that SEN children who participate in regular PE programmes often experience significant improvements in motor skills, social interaction, and emotional regulation compared to those who don't receive adequate physical education

From a physical development perspective, PE provides children with essential opportunities to develop fundamental movement skills, coordination, balance, and spatial awareness. Regular participation in physical activities strengthens muscles and bones, improves cardiovascular health, and helps maintain healthy body weight during crucial growth periods. These physical benefits lay the foundation for lifelong health and wellness habits, while also supporting the development of fine motor skills that are essential for activities like writing, drawing, and other classroom tasks. The structured nature of PE classes allows children to progressively build their physical capabilities in a safe and supervised environment.

The social development benefits of physical education are equally significant, as PE classes create natural opportunities for children to interact, cooperate, and develop crucial interpersonal skills. Through team sports and group activities, children learn valuable lessons in collaboration, communication, and leadership. They develop empathy by supporting peers who may struggle with certain activities, learn to follow rules and instructions, and understand the importance of fair play. For SEN children, these social interactions in a structured PE environment can be particularly beneficial, helping them build confidence in social situations and develop meaningful relationships with their peers.

The psychological benefits of physical education extend deep into a child's emotional and mental well-being. Regular physical activity triggers the release of endorphins, natural mood elevators that help reduce stress and anxiety while promoting a positive mental state. Through PE, children develop resilience by learning to cope with both success and failure, build self-esteem through skill mastery, and gain confidence in their physical abilities. The sense of achievement that comes from improving at physical tasks can significantly boost a child's self-worth and motivation, creating a positive feedback loop that extends into other areas of their academic and personal life. For children with special educational needs, these psychological benefits can be transformative, helping them develop emotional regulation skills and a stronger sense of self-efficacy.
