The Code of Practice 2014 defines SEN as:

“A child or young person has SEN if they have a learning difficulty or disability which calls for special educational provision to be made for him or her.”

The four broad areas of need are:

• Communication and interaction e.g.: autistic spectrum and language disorders.

• Cognition and learning – e.g.: dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, moderate learning difficulties, global development delay.
