Special Education Needs and Disability - SEND
Special Educational Needs
A child or young person has a Special Educational Need and/or Disability if they have a learning difficulty or disability which calls for special educational provision to be made for him/her.
According to the SEND Code of Practice (2015, p.16) a child or young person has a learning difficulty if they have:
- a significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of others of
the same age, or
- has a disability which prevents or hinders him or her from making use of
facilities of a kind generally provided for others of the same age in
mainstream schools
