SEND for the paediatrician: children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities

Disabled children and young people, including those with special educational needs, have rights to the same high-quality health care as anyone else would expect to receive. Whilst policies and practices vary over time and across jurisdictions, maintaining a structured approach and broad vision should ensure that each and every need of all children and young people is identified, accurately described using clearly understandable terms, documented and communicated to all who need to know in the child or young person's wider team.
