Diversity for Students with Severe Learning Difficulties (CD-Rom) aims to provide interactive experiences to help students with severe learning difficulties learn about diversity in the UK by getting to know 4 teenagers with non UK heritage.

Each teenager is introduced through a multi media (Flash) presentation, telling about their lives, likes, dislikes and background. Instructions are given for assembling a box of their favourite things and simple recipes for their favourite food.

The pack also includes craft activities, role play, and extension activities plus lesson plans and all printable materials for running a 12 week course on diversity,

This resource is suitable for use at Key Stage 4 and is accessible for students with some, little or no written or spoken language.
