The term "special educational needs" refers to children who have learning difficulties or disabilities that make it harder for them to learn than most other children of the same age. The phrase "other special educational needs" typically refers to a range of additional learning support requirements that may not fall under the category of traditional special education needs, but still require specific interventions and accommodations in order for these students to succeed academically. These can include conditions such as dyslexia, autism spectrum disorder, or physical disabilities that affect learning. The goal is to provide individualized support and resources to help each student reach their full potential, regardless of the nature or severity of their educational needs.
