This beta screener helps identify possible areas where a child or young person may need educational support that is additional to or different from ordinary teaching, routines, environment or access arrangements.It looks at six practical areas: communication, learning, emotional wellbeing, adaptive agency, social behaviour and physical functioning.The screener is not a diagnosis, psychological assessment, legal assessment or statutory decision. It is a structured first step to help families and professionals understand possible SEND access needs and decide what to explore next.
