Sensory and/or physical needs
Children and young people who have a disability that may make it difficult for them to manage their everyday life without change or support
This may be because of hearing or visual difficulties, physical disabilities or other medical needs.
Some of the things children and young people with these difficulties might find difficult are:
| | - Hearing what others in the classroom or school setting are saying
|
| - Reading words on books, worksheets or whiteboards that are not made bigger or changed to help them
|
| - Moving around without the aid of a walking aid or wheelchair
|
| - Using pencils, scissors, knives and forks and other things that we need to use without changes or support
|
| - Taking medication without adults helping them
|
