Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD)

Pupils with severe learning difficulties have very significant intellectual or cognitive impairments.  Their cognitive and/or attainment levels are normally at or below the 0.01 percentile.  This has a major effect on their ability to participate in the school curriculum without support.  They may also have difficulties in mobility and coordination, communication and perception and the acquisition of self-help skills.
