Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Delivery of Services for Students with Down’s Syndrome: Discussion

Ms Maeve McCafferty:

Teachers plan for special education, including completing an individualised education plan, IEP, in consultation with parents where the need arises. It does not happen in all cases; completing an IEP depends on the level of need. However, there is certainly planning for special education for all special educational needs.

On the July provision, we certainly welcome the review. We would like to see it broadened and the roles clarified.
