How to contact this service
Description
The SEND Ranges are used in West Northamptonshire to help local teachers and staff understand the needs of children and young people with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND).
They are based on the four key areas of need from the SEND Code of Practice (2015). These are:
- Communication and Interaction
- Cognition and Learning
- Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH)
- Sensory and/or Physical Needs
The SEND Ranges are also based on the ‘golden thread’ of the Graduated Approach. This is a process that is central to good SEND practice and is used across all four areas of need. It consists of:
- Assess
