Special Educational Needs & Dissability
Below is some information on what this talk is about and the topics covered
WHY THIS TALK?
This talk is specifically designed to support boys and young men with SEND needs, instilling them with positive and healthy beliefs around their role as men within society
This assembly celebrates the strengths and abilities of boys with additional needs, encouraging them to value themselves and what they bring to school and beyond. With clear, simple activities and supportive workshops, we focus on building confidence, managing emotions, making safe choices online, and creating respectful relationships. Every boy leaves with practical tools they can use every day, alongside a stronger sense of self-belief and belonging.
We were so delighted to invite Nathan to The British School Of Bucharest. Nathan's approach was appropriate and pitched at exactly the right level for the age of the students and his ability to adapt the material and content was fantastic. Some of the content was quite sensitive but Nathan handled it and marshalled the discussion with ease. He had a strong ability to connect with and engage the students of all ages. They gave immensely positive feedback

SUPPORTING WORKSHOPS
Workshop 1: Know Your Strengths & Self-Advocacy
Students identify what they’re good at and learn how to ask for what helps. Using simple visuals and sentence starters, they create a personal Support Card so teachers and mentors know the best ways to help them succeed.
​
Workshop 2: Emotion Toolkit & Regulation Plan
This practical session helps students recognise early signs of stress and choose regulation tools that work for them. They leave with a personalised plan they can use in class, at home, and online.
​
Workshop 3: Online Boundaries & Managing Overload
Students practise safer choices for chats, gaming and social media using clear, step-by-step strategies. They build a simple digital plan to manage time, protect privacy, and handle pressure from peers or group chats.
​
Workshop 4: Respectful Relationships & Social Scripts
With concrete examples and easy-to-use scripts, students learn how to set boundaries, communicate clearly, and handle rejection kindly. The focus is on confidence, respect and building healthy connections.
