Ahh! The differences between jargon in Scotland and England is doing my head in!

OK - you use SEN, we use ASN (additional support needs)

What are:
SLD (specific learning difficulty?)
MLD
PMLD

Thanks

HI sorry I haven't been around much. I'm new to all this chool business and studying a dgree to go onto teacher training thereafter.

What does SENCO stand for. I have seen it used alot in England on applications and around the school I work in and I haven't had the time to ask anyone yet?
