Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) refer to conditions that affect a child's ability to learn and participate fully in school activities. These can include learning difficulties, physical disabilities, sensory impairments, or emotional and behavioral challenges. SEND means that a child requires additional support, accommodations, or resources to access education effectively alongside their peers. The goal is to ensure every child has the opportunity to reach their potential in a supportive and inclusive environment. Education systems work to identify these needs early and tailor help accordingly, fostering equal access and positive development for all students.
