Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND)

Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) refers to conditions that affect a person’s learning or development, making it harder for them to access a typical educational experience. This includes physical disabilities, learning difficulties, sensory impairments, or mental health issues. Schools and support services aim to provide tailored strategies, resources, and accommodations to help individuals with SEND achieve their potential. Recognizing SEND ensures students receive appropriate support, fostering inclusive environments where everyone can learn and participate fully. It’s about understanding and responding to diverse needs to promote equal educational opportunities.
