Yes. All Aslan curriculum topics, lesson plans, guides, and extra resources are free. Create a free account to download lesson PDFs, PowerPoints, and activity sheets.
Aslan is for church leaders setting up SEN Sunday school groups, children's ministry volunteers, parents using Bible material at home, and teachers looking for accessible Bible-related activities.
Start with our Setting Up a Group guide: talk to church leaders, identify children who would benefit, recruit committed leaders (ideally a 1:1 ratio), meet parents, schedule sessions in the diary, then plan your first session using our Running a Session guide and Topics library.
The resources are designed for children and young people aged approximately 5–19 with special or additional needs, with four differentiated activity levels so each child can work at an appropriate stage.
No formal qualifications are required. Leaders need a genuine interest in supporting children with additional needs. The website provides step-by-step guides, session plans, visual timetables, and downloadable lesson materials.
Yes. The Aslan at Home section explains how families can use the same session material with their child, including guidance on activity levels and accessing stories and activities online.
The three-year plan is a structured sequence of Bible topics alternating Old and New Testament themes across three academic years. View the full plan online or download a printable PDF from the 3 Year Plan page.
