Planning targeted interventions takes real specialist time. AI can speed up the activity-generation part of this process, freeing up a SENCO or intervention lead to focus on matching the right support to the right pupil.
Practical uses
- Generating a bank of short, structured activities targeting a specific skill (e.g. phoneme blending, number bonds)
- Suggesting a simple progression of activities from easiest to hardest for a given skill
- Drafting session plan templates that intervention TAs can use consistently
Keeping decisions with the professionals
The decision about which pupil needs which intervention, and how it's progressing, stays with the professionals who know the child — AI is a resource generator here, not a decision-maker.
A note on consistency across TAs
One underrated benefit of AI-generated session plan templates is consistency — if several TAs are delivering the same intervention across a school, having them all work from a similarly structured template (even while each TA brings their own delivery style) makes it much easier for a SENCO to monitor quality and progress across the group, rather than each TA's sessions looking completely different in structure.
Key takeaways
- Use AI to generate activity banks and session templates quickly.
- Which pupil gets which intervention stays a specialist decision.
- Consistent templates make it easier to monitor intervention quality across TAs.
