Criticism of new special needs plan questioned
The council questioned complaints by the Irish National Teachers’ Organisation that it will create more work for schools and hinder, rather than speed up, the extra help needed by children with learning difficulties.
In advice to Education Minister Ruairi Quinn on supports for children with special educational needs (SEN), the NCSE fell short of calling for full implementation of laws that would automatically entitle students to resources they are assessed as needing.
