3. Why is this important

Timely therapy support will enable children and young people with SEND to take part in active daily routines so that they can:

  • develop
  • thrive
  • reach their full potential wherever possible

Lack of the right support at the right time can have a negative impact on children and young peoples:

  • education
  • employment
  • social status
  • mental health
  • involvement with the justice system

This in turn can have a negative impact on longer-term health and wellbeing.
