Confused about colourful semantics and co-regulation?

Want to understand what relational and restorative approaches are all about?

Check out our new Jargon Buster!

The world of SEND is full of jargon and for parent carers (and lots of professionals too) it can be a confusing and difficult language to learn.

That’s why we have created a new jargon buster about SEN support terms. It sits alongside the existing one which covers SEND processes, professionals and organisations.

Listed alphabetically, it’s a wide ranging look at the SEN support terms and words that you’ll hear in school and see written in your child’s support plans. From Augmentative and Alternative Communication through to Zones of Regulation, it’s an A to Z of words and terms and a brief explanation of what they mean.

You can see the list on our website in the SEN support section, or you can download a PDF of the list to keep. If you’ve heard other terms you’d like us to add, contact us and let us know.
