Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Education Needs of Visually Impaired Students: Discussion

11:00 am

Mr. Brendan Doody:

It is not a term we use in the Department or in respect of the work of the NCCA. The way we look at it is that the cumulative impact of all the measures we have put in place addresses what would be addressed in the UK by way of the extended core curriculum. Things such as orientation, mobility and reasonable accommodations are all part of the extended core curriculum in the UK. We do not call it the extended core curriculum but if you drill into it, we have in place the measures that are in the UK. We just do not call it the extended core curriculum.
