SEND
Special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) can affect a child or young person’s ability to learn. They can affect:
- behaviour or ability to socialise, for example struggling to make friends
- reading and writing, for example because they have dyslexia
- ability to understand things
- concentration levels, for example because they have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- physical ability
Who to talk to
If you think your child may have special educational needs, contact the SEND co-ordinator, or ‘SENDCo’
Your local Information, Advice and Support (IAS) Service can give you advice about SEND.
