Is It SEN or Typical Behaviour?

All children have off days. These questions can help you decide whether to explore SEND further.

Ask yourself

• Has this been going on for a long time (months or years)?
• Does it happen in more than one place (home and school)?
• Is my child distressed, not just misbehaving?
• Is learning, friendship or confidence being affected?
• Do typical parenting strategies seem to make things worse?
