what is send?

​

If you or your child's school or college are concerned that your child is not making progress, it's possible that they may have special educational needs or a disability (SEND).  If you have a child with SEND you may find that it affects their ability to learn.

​

A child or young person with special educational needs, requires provision which is different from or additional to that normally available to others of the same age.  Special educational provision should be matched to the child's or young person's identified needs.

​

Your child/young person's needs may have an impact on their behaviour, their ability to make friends or to concentrate, affect their reading or writing, or their ability to understand things clearly.
