Guidance: Use the ‘My Learning Journey’ information and your knowledge of the child to plot the level of need across the categories and descriptors. It will be the distribution of needs identified in each category which will help you make a best fit judgement. Please tick/highlight the appropriate level of need.

Evidence to support your claim:

Please complete the most appropriate relevant descriptor (one only). Do not pick out all of the descriptors that apply only the most relevant descriptors in the complex or severe column. Highlighting descriptors in both columns demonstrates that the child falls in the 50/50 category and not the highest or lowest level of need.
