This is a list of outcomes for a severely learning disabled young person. This young person requires 24/7 social care support but within their supported setting they do have a lot of independence skills.

The format of the EHCP changes from year 9 onwards. Most of it stays the same but Section B changes. This link is to the ‘all ages’ EHCP format.
