The Learning Fort Waterfall Suite
Two Tools One Complete Classroom Solution.
✅ Irish Built ✅ NCCA Aligned ✅ OT Informed ✅ NCSE Relate Framework
TLF Waterfall Suite is an Irish-built digital toolkit combining curriculum planning with OT-informed sensory awareness. It is the only suite in Ireland that connects how a child regulates with how a teacher plans — built to support the implementation of the NCSE Relate framework and fully aligned to the NCCA Curriculum.
Understand the behaviour. Support the child.
TLF Waterfall Planning Tool
Ireland's Smartest Curriculum Planning System Built by an Irish teacher. NCCA-aligned. Ready to open.
The Problem
Every Irish teacher needs a curriculum plan, but you shouldn't have to spend your weekends reinventing the wheel. Copying and pasting strands, cross-referencing the curriculum, and reformatting the same document term after term is exhausting. It doesn't have to be this way.
The Solution
A System, Not a Template. Most planning tools give you a blank framework and walk away. The TLF Waterfall Planner is different. It is a complete, ready-built digital system designed strictly around the Irish curriculum.
How It Works
Tick your content once in your yearly plan, and the Waterfall Planner automatically cascades it into your termly and fortnightly plans. It handles the structural work so you can focus on what only you can do—knowing your students and planning great lessons.
What You Get
-
Automated Cascading: Yearly selections instantly build your termly and fortnightly plans.
-
Comprehensive Coverage: Every subject, every strand, every level.

TLF Sensory Indicator Tool
Ireland's Only Sensory Indicator With Personalised Activities Built by an Irish OT. Ready to open.
The Reality
Good planning means nothing if the child in front of you is in survival mode. At home, everyday routines feel impossible when your child's nervous system is overwhelmed.
The Support
Created by an Irish Occupational Therapist and a Special Class Teacher, the TLF Sensory Indicator turns everyday observations into practical support strategies for the home or classroom.
How It Works
Answer questions across seven key areas, such as Touch and Balance. Based on the information provided, the tool identifies potential processing patterns (Seeking, Avoiding, or Low Registration) and instantly generates a visual chart of the child's sensory profile. It then provides suggested strategies to meet the identified processing patterns.
What You Get
-
Automated Action Plans: Receive a bespoke Monthly Activity Plan tailored to any area scoring "High" or "Moderate."
-
Practical Insight: Access evidence-based strategies and clear, plain-English explanations of the processing patterns identified.
-
Shareable Profiles: Print a visual overview of the child’s sensory patterns and suggested strategies to help ensure a consistent approach between home and school.
Who It's For
-
Educators & SNAs: Seeking to understand their students' sensory needs and create a regulated, supportive classroom environment.
-
Parents & Caregivers: Looking for plain-English guidance and practical, everyday activities to support their child's regulation at home.
Predict. Prevent. Protect.
