Profound, severe and complex needs specialist resource provisions
Severe learning difficulties (SLD) are where children are likely to need support in all areas of the curriculum and with associated difficulties such as mobility and communication. Profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD) are where children are likely to have severe and complex learning difficulties as well as a physical disability or sensory impairment.
To be considered for a specialist resource provision (SRP) support, your child or young person must have an education health and care (EHC) plan. During the EHC needs assessment, evidence must be provided that without a high level of ongoing, flexible specialist support, they will find it difficult or not be able to participate in activities or learning in a mainstream school.
Broad area of need category as referenced on your child's EHC plan: cognition and learning
