SEND language changes all the time. If you think we are missing a term, or an explanation could be clearer, we would love to hear from you. This guide is built for the whole SEND, neurodivergent and additional needs community — children, young people, adults, families, carers, professionals and neurodivergent people, disabled people and people with additional needs themselves.
