money management

At SEN-Explorers, we help individuals develop the real-world money skills they need to feel confident and independent in daily life. Through practical experiences in the community, we support learning at every level — from recognising coins to budgeting for treats. 

•  Identifying coins and notes
   
• Understanding the value of money
   
• Paying for items in shops, cafés, and markets
   
• Using contactless payments and reading receipts
   
• Counting change correctly
   
• Budgeting for activities and personal spending
   
• Saving money and making informed choices
   
• Recognising the difference between needs and wants
   

Rather than learning in a classroom, we build money skills through real-world outings, giving individuals the chance to practise with guidance, repetition, and encouragement.

Developing money management skills helps individuals:

• Make confident choices
   
• Reduce anxiety in public
   
• Build daily routines and responsibility
   
• Prepare for greater independence, supported living, or employment
   

We work closely with families to reinforce skills at home, ensuring that learning continues beyond our sessions and becomes part of everyday life.
