    Can't answer yes or no.:

    It is likely that 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 ALP if it is not directly related to a learning difficulty: H v A London Borough [2015] UKUT 316 (decided on the English law and so not binding in the ETA, however Nodi considers that the reasoning is likely to be persuasive).
