Specialist input is important for learners with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) because it provides the expertise and tailored support needed for them to thrive. While regular classroom teachers/tutors are essential, specialists offer advanced knowledge to create personalized learning strategies, address complex needs, and facilitate collaboration across different areas of a learner's development.
