Behaviour and learning needs special schools
Children and young people may experience a wide range of social and emotional difficulties which show themselves in many ways. These may include becoming withdrawn or isolated, as well as displaying challenging, disruptive or disturbing behaviour.
These behaviours may reflect underlying mental health difficulties such as anxiety or depression, self-harming, substance misuse, eating disorders or physical symptoms that are medically unexplained. Other children and young people may have disorders such as attention deficit disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or attachment disorder.
Their behaviour will impact their learning.
