Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Youth

Education for Children with Special Educational Needs: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Caroline Quinn:

Returning to the primary care needs or, as many of us would say, the secondary care needs that the Deputy would be well used to, it is great to see that the SNA workforce development group has been working for the last 18 months on the whole area of looking at the role of the SNA. We do not just have what we traditionally call primary care needs. The children have to be able to access the curriculum, but they cannot access the curriculum and learning to the best of their ability and reach their potential if there is not that sort of support there for them. We support the work of the SNA workforce development group and look forward to seeing the new circular and the review of the role coming out shortly.
