Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Youth

Education for Children with Special Educational Needs: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Charlotte Cahill:

I do not think they are secondary needs. I think they are primary needs, to be fair, for the majority of our autistic or neurodivergent children. Many of our children with neurodivergent profiles need sensory regulation to be able to access the curriculum. It is absolutely vital that how allocations are set is looked at and revised. Sensory needs should be primary care needs.
