London Zoo

London Zoo is a popular educational attraction for people of all ages, but is it accessible for all disabilities? Through this project we aim to bring attention to the inaccessibility of the education provided by the zoo, and ask them to work with disabled individuals to improve access.

  • Drawing the Animals

    What better way to spend time at the zoo than drawing the animals. London Zoo does amazing conservation work both on and off site. We are highlighting our aim to increase the accessibility of learning about the conservation and animals through our videos.

  • Communication Resources

    We don't just want to identify the problem, but be part of the solution. With the animals we have drawn we can create communication resources to use at any zoo. These can support people to choose where they want to go and learn more about the animals they can see without relying on verbal speech.

  • Informative Posters

    Many animals are already used to represent elements of the disability community, they can also be a great way to explain disabilities. Use these posters to learn little and often! Put them up in the staff room, on the back of toilet doors or use as lesson inspiration!

Rainbow Literacy

In collaboration with Ann Sullivan, Phonics for SEN

Rainbow Literacy is a suite of resources that provide teaching and learning activities for children with moderate to severe and complex needs who are beginning their journey into literacy. The suite covers all aspects of reading, spelling and writing and includes a specialist resource for children who are pre- or nonverbal / non- speaking and one for children who need to work on spoken language structure (syntax). Each pack is filled with focused activities supported by delightfully illustrated and engaging resources. Meet Tat, the magic cat, Pat, the plumber and, of course, Sap, the world-famous snake detective!
