Hi there - I requested information for learning disabilities not learning difficulties. Learning disabilities may include children with profound and multiple learning disabilities, autism, challenging behaviour who will need support / care in the future as they progress into adulthood. Learning difficulties (this is not the information that we want) may include children with a specific educations needs e.g. dyslexia.
Yours sincerely,
