Special educational needs and disability (SEND)
Do you have a disability or special health need? If you have a health or developmental condition that is impacting on everyday life, this is often referred to as SEND (Special educational need or disability)/ SEN or an additional need. It may be that from birth you have faced some extra challenges or these may have become more obvious as you have grown older.
Your additional needs could be developmental, physical, learning, behavioural or sensory. Your needs might be easily met with a regular plan of care or something more complex. You may have an EHCP (Educational, Health Care Plan). Some additional needs may continue throughout life and you and your family may require support from a number of services.
All children and young people should have access to the right services, at the right time, and this is to make sure you can reach your full potential. This includes as you approach adulthood and transition into adult services.
Our shared vision for children and young people in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough is: "Dream big, achieve well, have choice, control and lead happy, fulfilled lives".
