Special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) can affect a child or young person’s ability to learn.

They can affect their:

• behaviour or ability to socialise, for example they struggle to make friends
• reading and writing, for example because they have dyslexia
• ability to understand things
• concentration levels, for example because they have ADHD
• physical ability
