Special Educational Needs and Disabilities
This list is not intended to be exhaustive but will provide an idea of what help is available across Hertfordshire.
Children and young people who have special educational needs (SEN) do not necessarily have a disability. Some disabled children and young people do not have special educational needs. There is a lot of overlap between the two groups though.
