To clarify, Ms O'Dwyer would see summer provision as an opportunity for VI students. Most VI students are in mainstream education and, as described, are received supports from teachers and SNAs who are probably learning with the child what that child needs as with all disabilities but VI is very specific. Most SNAs will have only one child with VI throughout their career. If we can move it to service providers, Ms O'Dwyer sees summer provision as an opportunity for service providers to go in every year and give very specialised supports around making the student more self-reliant?
