Understanding SEN: A Key to Effective Support

Special educational needs (SEN) or special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) refer to additional learning requirements some students have. These may involve differences in communication, coordination, attention, behaviour or social interaction. These characteristics can affect how a student learns in a typical classroom and typically require additional support. At Sunbeam Education, we specialise in providing one-to-one tutoring and coaching support for students with SEN. This support ranges from subject support to help with developing sustainable support strategies for challenges associated with SEN, such as organisation and anxiety. Here is our primer on all things SEN - what it means, how students are impacted and what can be done to support them.
