a teacher who has responsibility for the children in a school for whom learning is particularly difficult, for example because they have a learning difficulty, illness, or condition or because of their family circumstances. ALNCo is short for Additional Learning Needs Coordinator.

The school has a duty to designate a person to be the ALNCo. 学校有责任任命一人担任额外教育需求协调老师。

In Wales, under the new legislation, the SENCo's role will be developed further and they will be known as the ALNCo. 在威尔士，根据新规定，特殊教育老师的职责会被进一步扩展，并且他们会被称为额外教育需求协调老师。
