It is important to understand the distinction between ʻlearning difficulty’ and ʻlearning disability’ (http://oxleas.nhs.uk, 2023). The focus of this research is on difficulties rather than disabilities, with the manifestations of some of the most commonly found SEN areas in mainstream classrooms: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD) & dyslexia, being the primary focal point. In addition, this paper explores how knowledgeable English language teachers are of these manifestations and where they received their training (if any) for the integration of SEN students.
