Assistive AI to support your workload: a twilight!
Are you using Assistive AI as a teacher or support assistant? Do you need to learn more about how this tool can support your planning, teaching and ideas generation?
8 May: 4 pm – 5 pm
In this one-hour session, Richard explores how to use Assistive AI as a time-saving endless resource pool to discover new ideas and resources to maximise access to individualised learning for your pupils. He’ll share techniques for making Assistive AI more relevant to you and how to interact with it to get the best information you need.
What can Assistive AI help me do?
generate new ideas
identify appropriate resources
plan lessons
ask for specific information – anything you need to know more about!
explore possible alternatives, i.e. the top 10 special education apps in the UK
find alternative teaching strategies for learners with PMLD and Autism
differentiate a lesson plan e.g. based on ‘I’m going on a Bear Hunt’
make exciting PowerPoint presentations
find on-the-go solutions for an unexpected classroom challenge
There are endless possibilities! But remember, it’s about aiding your creativity, not replacing it.
If you want to experiment with a new approach to creative teaching or are curious about the fusion of AI and special education, join us for an hour’s exploration of what is possible to achieve using AI!
Each twilight has a specific focus and will include the following:
simple and practical ideas that are easy to replicate and work
relevant resources, books, equipment and apps
how to embed activities effectively within your classroom practice
ideas to develop foundation skills or to build upon existing skills
inclusive activities for a range of learners, including those with SLD/complex needs/neurodiverse learners/autism
activities for groups or individual learners
an opportunity to ask questions of presenters/fellow attendees
You can join us live & online or watch the recording for a week after the event.

Richard Hirstwood is passionate about enabling educators/practitioners to maximise the impact of delivering sensory learning opportunities, in a sensory room or other learning environments, with the available resources. His extensive experience is based on practical knowledge, giving him insight into what works and what doesn’t in multi sensory practice. Regular sessions with children and adults with autism and all additional needs in a variety of multi sensory and classroom settings enable him to maintain this excellent practice.
