Supporting learners with SEND and learning differences

Junior Polydron pieces are designed for younger children to manipulate, so joining them supports fine motor control without too much strain. Children can follow a model from the leaflet or build freely, and play with the finished vehicles and figures gives a clear reason to keep going.
