Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

A child or young person has special educational needs and disabilities if they have a learning difficulty and/or a disability that means they need special health and education support, we shorten this to SEND. At Kinson Academy we have specialist staff that can assess and assist all children to fulfill their potential throughout the school.

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
