I thank Inclusion Ireland for being with us today. Covid restrictions have had a serious effect on all children but particularly those with special needs. Routine is of paramount importance for children with special needs and the disruption to their supports has caused distress for many children and their families. Many parents fear the lack of schooling during the past four months may cause regression in some children. Has a plan of action been drawn up to support all children and adolescents with special needs as they transition back to school in the coming months?
