An extract from the PowerPoint presentation to accompany the webinar:
The Big Picture – what the SEND CoP says
Slow progress and low attainment do not necessarily mean that a child has SEN.
Equally, it should not be assumed that attainment in line with chronological age means that there is no learning difficulty or disability.
Some learning difficulties and disabilities occur across the range of cognitive ability and, left unaddressed, may lead to frustration, which may manifest itself as disaffection, emotional or behavioural difficulties.
