A learning need that falls outside the average expectations for a pupil of their own age

Special Education Need – Defined
A child or a young person has special educational needs if they have a learning difficulty or disability which calls for special education provision to be made for them.
A student of compulsory school age or a young person has a learning difficulty or disability if they:
- Have a significantly greater difficulty in learning that the majority of children the same age.
- Have a disability which prevents or hinders them from making use of educational facilities of a kind generally provided for children of the same age in mainstream schools within the area of the local education authority.
A learning disability affects the way a person learns new things in any area of life, not just at school.
A learning disability affects the way a person understands information and how they communicate. Around 1.5m people in the UK have one.
All these difficulties are linked to the same area in the brain and therefore they often overlap
All teachers are teachers of special needs and inclusive teaching ensures all pupils make excellent progress!
