   Special Educational Needs inclusion-can any teachers help me?
   I am a 3rd year interior architecture student designing a classroom that would help inclusion of special needs in mainstream schools, mainly focusing on autism, ADHD, dyspraxia and dyslexia.
   If any teachers could help me by giving their opinions and experiences it would be very helpful!
   How many SEN students do you have in your class?
   Do they mix well with the rest of the pupils?
   What kind of facilities/layout do you think would help the SEN students, as well as the rest of the class?
   Thank you!

   As an ex specialist teacher of pupils with autism/ADHD/ etc. The following might be worth thinking about.
   1.No of pupils about 6 to 10 max, with a teacher & 1/2 assistants.
   2. Need lots of space. This sort of pupil often needs a lot of ‘personal space’.
   3. Colours should be calming – not primary reds and yellows!
   4. Because of their behavioural problems, all glass windows should be unbreakable! Hot water temp should be regulated.
   5. Furniture should be robust.
   6. All cupboards, shelves etc. should be secured firmly to the walls/floor.
   7. All surfaces should be easily cleaned & sterilisable.
   8. Wide doors for wheelchairs.

   (Just re-read your q. These comments apply to clases solely for autistic etc., but the points are still valid for a normalclass with SEN pupils!)
