As a teacher to be surprised at how many in my class have SEN?

I teach a reception class of 26. 4 of them have an EHCP plan, 6 are waiting assessment and at least another 4 are showing possible signs of SEN including speech delay.

I’ve been teaching for 10 years and I personally believe there is an increase.
I don’t know if lockdown plays a part or whether it’s down to other factors.

Hi all - thanks for the reports. We've removed posts that break our guidelines but we wanted to make a wider point about comments relating to diagnosis of SEN. A cursory look at the SN children board will illustrate just how difficult, stressful and disheartening it is for parents to navigate the system in order to get the necessary support in place for their child. Suggesting it's easy to get a diagnosis or that it's the parent's fault for too much screen time would be pretty hurtful to say the least if you're actually in that situation and all too aware of the realities.

We're going to close this thread now while we go through it.
