Some children and young people require special educational provision because they have a disability which prevents or hinders them from making use of the educational facilities generally provided.

Many children and young people with physical disability (PD), vision impairment (VI), hearing impairment (HI) or a multi-sensory impairment (MSI – both hearing and vision difficulties) may need specialist support and/or equipment to access learning and other opportunities available to their peers. They may also need habilitation support to help with daily tasks such as eating or travelling.

Children and young people with physical and sensory needs are supported in schools by their teachers and Special Educational Needs Coordinators. They may also receive support in education settings or in their homes from the Sensory Impairment Team or Physical Difficulties Team depending on their needs.
