Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Education Needs of Visually Impaired Students: Discussion
Ms Edel Doherty:
The difficulties are specifically down to the lack of available people who can deliver the programme in a way that is meaningful and beneficial to the child who is vision impaired. So a person needs to have vision impairment-specific knowledge in order to teach people. Summer is a perfect time of year and a perfect opportunity to go in with the additional skills but the biggest difficulty is the lack of available knowledge in that area.
