‘I Need Help’ has been designed to support children and young people with identifying when they need further support. This is perfect for laminating and placing on a desk for the child or young person to turn over when needed to signal to the teacher that they require some support. This doubles up as a classroom management tool and prevents children from queuing up behind you! 

This works as both a wellbeing, emotional regulation tool and a tool for identifying need within the classroom.
