€450k centre for children with special educational needs in Cork

A new centre in Co Cork, due to open this summer, will provide a full range of early intervention services to children with special educational needs thanks to help from the Dormant Accounts Fund (DAC).

Children’s charity Sensational Kids, which received €45,000 from the DAC, is to open the 10,000sq ft facility in Clonakilty.

The money is being used to fit out the state-of-the-art facility, which will provide a full range of child development services including occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, play therapy, and psychology.
