Unit 4 Equality, Diversity and Inclusion In Work With Children and Young People Task 11 SEN and Inclusion (2) 1. What do you understand by the term, Special Educational Needs? Children have a special educational need if they have a significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of children of the same age, a learning difficulty which calls for a special educational provision to be made for them, or one which prevents or hinders him/her from making use of educational facilities of a kind generally provided.” A child having SEN does not indicate a child’s willingness or ability to learn nor does it define what their intelligence level is.
It depends on the particular need of an individual as to how an accommodation would be made, for example a child in a wheelchair would require a ramp from the school’s entrance, the door being able to accommodate a suitable width, providing railings of support in the hallway, space being made in the classrooms, and a stall in the bathroom made as an example.
2. List some of the SEN you might encounter in school. Many children with SEN will have more than one area of difficulty for example, a learning difficulty with a speech difficulty. SEN are those who have, and which you might encounter: * Learning difficulties (including special learning) * Hearing difficulties * Visual difficulties * Physical disabilities (wheelchair bound, on crutches, missing a limb) * Medical conditions (epilepsy) * Speech and language or reading and writing (dyslexia, comprehension) * Emotional and behavioral difficulty making friends) * Concentrating (ADHD or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) * Physical needs or impairments (wheelchair bound, on crutches, missing a limb, hearing or sight)
It is your responsibility to read any information from your school about SEN which may help you to understand how to be of better assistance to a person with SEN.
