We’re thrilled to announce that two of our key SEN resources have been officially endorsed by nasen. This endorsement is a huge milestone for us, and reflects TTS’ ongoing commitment to inclusivity, accessibility, and quality support for all children learning.
What is the Nasen Quality Framework?
nasen is the National Association for Special Educational Needs – a charitable membership organisation that exists to support and champion those working with, and for, children and young people with SEND and learning differences.
Their Quality Framework programme provides a rigorous review process led by qualified SEND education specialists. This process ensures that products and resources meet the diverse needs of learners with SEND, with nasen offering expert advice to further optimise accessibility.
Being awarded the nasen assured status means that our resources have been carefully evaluated and endorsed by a trusted leader in the SEND community. We are proud to have achieved this prestigious mark of quality on two of our popular SEN resources: the Vibrating Lap Buddy – Guinea Pig and the Calming Sensory Pod Starter Collection.
Vibrating Lap Buddy – Guinea Pig
Our Vibrating Lap Buddy – Guinea Pig has earned its place as a ‘nasen assured’ product, thanks to its thoughtful design aimed at promoting sensory regulation and emotional wellbeing. This cuddly guinea pig comes with a weighted blanket that can be adjusted to suit individual needs. Its vibrate function can be toggled on or off, allowing for flexible use in various settings. Whether a child needs calming vibrations or simply the comforting weight, this lap buddy is a valuable tool for sensory support.
We’re particularly proud that the product includes online materials to help professionals fully understand the benefits of sensory resources and how to use them most effectively. With nasen’s endorsement, we can confidently say that this resource is making a difference in inclusive classrooms and therapy settings across the UK.
Calming Sensory Pod Starter Collection
Our second nasen-assured resource, the Calming Sensory Pod Starter Collection, offers an array of sensory tools designed to create a soothing and engaging environment for children. This collection includes a mini pop-up sensory pod, a sparkle rug, a light-up bolster cushion, glow construction blocks, a sensory illuminated board, and a weighted lap buddy. Each item is carefully selected to support children in finding the resources that work best for them.
This diverse collection provides a sensory-rich environment that promotes emotional regulation, reduces anxiety, and fosters a sense of calm. It’s an ideal addition to any inclusive setting, allowing educators to offer personalised support to children with varying needs.
At TTS, we believe that every child deserves access to learning tools that empower them to thrive, no matter their learning needs. Being endorsed by nasen is an exciting recognition of the work we do to support inclusive education. With this recognition, we are inspired to continue developing innovative SEN resources that create positive outcomes for learners of all abilities.
We invite you to explore our SEN products and see how they can support your setting in fostering an inclusive, nurturing learning environment.
