Ireland Prison Education Strategy 2019-2022: Discussion
Cathal Crowe (Clare, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
When the teachers are educating in the prison context there may be a range of telltale signs that someone may have dyslexia or dyscalculia. In that moment the teacher will have a hunch. When I was a primary school teacher, we had a referral mechanism to get someone screened and diagnosed. Is there a similar pathway for an adult, if the teachers suspect that the man or woman in front of them has dyslexia? Is there any way of getting diagnostic questions answered and of putting them on a pathway to address that, apart from differentiated teaching?
