Social Emotional Mental Health (SEMH)

‘EBD’ Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties refers to a condition in which behaviour or emotional responses of an individual are so different from generally accepted norms, that they adversely affect that child's performance.

Children may go through a range of experiences that classify as psychological trauma, these might include neglect, abandonment, sexual abuse, and physical abuse, witnessing abuse of a sibling or parent, or having a mentally ill parent.

Hearing Impairment (HI)

What we know...

Hearing loss in childhood may be genetic in origin or acquired. It is either sensorineural (of the inner ear and nerves) or conductive (outer ear). Sensorineural deafness is permanent, whereas conductive loss can fluctuate with conditions like glue ear. It is possible for a child to have a mix of both.
