SEND is the overarching term used for learners with a Special Educational Need and/or Disability. This includes learners who have a diagnosed Learning Difficulty and/or Disability – LDD, such as Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Autistic Spectrum Conditions, mobility and dexterity, hearing impairment or ADHD. These learners could have a: o Statement of Educational Needs (SENs) o Learning Difficulty Assessments (LDAs) or o Education Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) However, it also refers to those with a diagnosed LDD but without SENs, LDAs, or EHCPs, and those with an undiagnosed LDD – a Learning Need (LN). Despite an adaptive and inclusive curriculum, learners may require interventions to further support their progression and achievement For example, where a learner: o Makes little or no progress when teaching approaches are targeted to their need o Show signs of difficulty in developing skills in literacy and/or numeracy o Shows persistent signs of emotional or mental health difficulties, which are not addressed through the strategies at SCL Group o Has physical or sensory problems and despite specialist equipment being provided still makes little or no progress o Has communication and/or interaction difficulties which lead to them making little or no progress o Has concerns referred by delivery colleagues
Support for learners is individualised and tailored to meet their needs. Learners sharing the same barrier may receive differing support dependent upon the impact on learning.
