    Yes. Learned behaviour, such as sexualised behaviour, may not itself be a learning difficulty, but that does not mean that the provision required in relation to it (including a residential placement) is not SEP if it is directly related to a learning difficulty: H v A London Borough [2015] UKUT 316#25-26.
