Class teachers and support staff should ensure that they have a good understanding of the child or young person’s developmental history and learning profile and that they have access to recent assessment information.
Children or young people are considered to have a multi-sensory impairment when they have a dual loss to both their distance senses - hearing and vision.
Where a child or young person has a diagnosed visual Impairment (NATSIP scores 5-29) they will then be identified as having a special educational need.
