Co verage

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:

Statement of Educational Needs (SENs)

• Learning Difficulty Assessments (LDAs) or • 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:

• Makes little or no progress when teaching approaches are targeted to their need • Show signs of difficulty in developing skills in literacy and/or numeracy • Shows persistent signs of emotional or mental health difficulties, which are not addressed through the strategies at SCL Group • Has physical or sensory problems and despite specialist equipment being provided still makes little or no progress • Has communication and/or interaction difficulties which lead to them making little or no progress • Has concerns referred by delivery colleagues
