For example, a child or young person may:

• learn at a slower pace than others their age
• have difficulty in understanding parts of the curriculum
• have difficulties with organisation and memory skills
• have a specific difficulty affecting one particular part of their learning performance such as in literacy or numeracy

Assessments and observations of a child may suggest that the learning is happening at a slower pace than their peers, even with appropriate differentiation. Your child's class teacher will assess, plan and deliver additional support at at Wave 1 and Wave 2, before considering Wave 3 support.
