Special Educational Needs (SEN) as an academic field focuses on the study of inclusive education and providing support to individuals with diverse learning needs. It involves understanding the various learning challenges faced by students, such as learning disabilities, developmental disorders, behavioural difficulties, and sensory impairments. SEN professionals work to create inclusive and supportive learning environments that cater to the individual needs of students, helping them achieve their full potential.

Special Educational Needs professionals play a crucial role in promoting inclusive education and ensuring that all students have access to quality learning experiences. As awareness of the importance of inclusive education grows, the demand for professionals with expertise in SEN will continue to increase, making it a rewarding and impactful career path for individuals passionate about making a positive difference in the lives of students with diverse learning needs.
