For obvious reasons getting good staff in the SEN arena is very difficult. It's hard enough ensuring there are enough specialist teachers in special schools and units let alone ensuring that those children in ordinary schools have specially trained staff to assist them. Sad but true. As usual, funding is the major problem.
