Inclusive Education for Persons with Disabilities: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Gillian Toole (Meath East, Independent)
The universal design for learning support model pilot runs until next year. Are there any interim findings that can be shared, or are they to be reserved until the pilot concludes in 2026? On student engagement at third level, how much interaction is there with the students or fledgling designers, shall we say? Do they go to schools, classes, special schools or CDNTs as part of their research for the apps or designs, or whatever the projects turn out to be? What sort of background research is there? Even the process in itself is an exercise in inclusivity.
