English
Definition Definitions vary widely across countries as they are specific to each country's legislation. Some countries define SEN using a general definition of disabled children, others categorise SEN pupils into more than ten different categories. However, differences in national definitions should not be exaggerated and do not preclude international comparisons of the available data. 

A child is commonly recognised as having special educational needs (SEN) if he or she is not able to benefit from the school education made generally available for children of the same age without additional support or adaptations in the content of studies. Therefore, SEN can cover a range of needs including physical or mental disabilities, and cognition or educational impairments.

Remark
The category covered by the terms special needs education, special educational needs, and special education is broader than education of children with disabilities, because it includes children with other needs – for example, through disadvantages resulting from gender, ethnicity, poverty, war trauma, or orphanhood.
