Can't answer yes or no.:
The description of the child or young person’s ALN should be as clear and comprehensive as possible and include the impact of the need on the child or young person’s learning.
Where there is a relevant diagnosis, this should be included as part of the description.
This section could include the reasons for deciding that the child or young person has ALN and should do so where there are particular reasons for a decision that might not be obvious to someone considering the case in future, or where there was a difference of opinion as to the ALN. This might be a difference of opinion between professionals, or a difference of opinion between the child, child’s parent or young person and professionals, or any other difference of opinion. It could explain how different opinions have been taken into consideration before a particular decision was reached.
Those responsible for drafting the IDP ought to ensure that they do not confuse the description of ALN with the ALP necessary to meet those needs.
