You don’t need to watch everything. Just choose what feels most helpful right now.
Step 1: Start with the iPad basics
Before looking at apps, it often helps to adjust a few key iPad settings.
These small changes can reduce distraction, prevent accidental changes and make the iPad calmer and easier to use.
Each of the videos focuses on a different aspect of using an iPad with your child - if it's not relevant at the moment, move on to the next one.
Step 2: Choose what matters most right now
Once the basics are in place, you can explore the area that best matches your child’s needs.
If handwriting or fine motor tasks are tricky, these videos share SEN‑friendly apps and settings that support skill‑building without pressure.

Some friendly reminders:
Many of the strategies shared here work well for all children, not just those with SEN.
Start small. You don’t need to change everything at once.
This site and YouTube channel are here to support you — not add pressure.
