Special Educational Needs (SEN) encompass learning challenges or disabilities that can hinder a child or young person’s educational progress compared to their peers. These difficulties may impact various facets of their learning, communication, or behaviour. Here are essential points to grasp about SEN:
- Greater Learning Challenges: A child is identified as having SEN if they encounter significantly more difficulty learning compared to most others of the same age.
- Disability Influence: Moreover, if a child’s disability impacts their use of facilities available to peers in mainstream schools or educational settings for those over 16 years old, they fall within the SEN category.
SEN can manifest diversely, affecting a child’s reading, writing, comprehension, concentration, and other learning aspects. Early recognition of these needs is vital, ensuring every child has equal learning opportunities. If you suspect your child may have SEN, seeking professional guidance and support is paramount.
How to Address SEN Concerns:
There are different routes to take to get access to specialist support and this wil l depend on your child’s age and current education.
- If your child attends a nursery or school, initiate a discussion with their teacher to gauge any observations. Additionally, consult the SENCo (Special Educational Needs Coordinator) present in every school and nursery for potential accommodations.
- If your child faces challenges accessing the curriculum, applying for an EHCP (Educational Health and Care Plan) might be necessary. An EHCP empowers parents to access tailored support for their child, including various support levels or bands.
- If your child does not attend a formal educational setting, consult your GP, highlighting developmental disparities compared to peers. Request assessments such as hearing tests and explore NHS services like occupational therapy or speech and language therapy. Due to appointment availability constraints, early registration of concerns with your GP is advisable.
