Minister vows to restore students' access to therapeutic supports

The service will be under the remit of the National Council for Special Education.

The minister for education has pledged to restore thousands of vulnerable students’ access to vital therapeutic supports with a new national service beginning in the next school year.

The Irish Examiner highlighted numerous cases where schools lost access to in-school therapies, such as speech and language and occupational, when therapists were removed during 2020.
