Editable templates, workbooks, and printables for the moments you need to put something in writing. Written by a parent navigating the same system.
"Most of what I needed wasn't a piece of advice — it was a starting point. Something already in roughly the right language, that I could shape to fit my child. These are the templates I wish someone had handed me."
The reviews and guides on Sensory Sorted are free, and they always will be. But there's a category of thing the site can't do for you: the letter you need to write to school, the EHCP paperwork sitting on your kitchen table, the meeting tomorrow you don't know how to prepare for. These templates are for those moments.
Every product here is something I built because I needed it myself, or because a parent in one of the SEN groups I sit in asked for it three times in a month. Editable Word files for the bits you'll personalise, printable PDFs for the bits you won't. Instant download. No subscription, no ongoing anything.
A note on what these are and aren't: they're parent-built templates, not legal advice. For complex cases (tribunal appeals, refusals to assess, disputes about placement), please contact IPSEA or your local SENDIASS. Both are free and both know things I don't.

Not sure which template fits where you are right now? The free guides cover the same ground at a higher level. Start with SEN Support & EHCPs Explained, School Anxiety & School Refusal, or the Starter Sensory Kit.
