25 international schools in United Kingdom offer advanced-level support for children with special educational needs (SEN) - specialist staff and structured programmes, not just extra help in class. doris rates two kinds of support — learning support and behaviour support — from Basic to Specialist.
doris rates learning support and behaviour support separately, each on this five-point scale. A school is grouped by whichever of the two is higher, so it appears on one level page only.
