A delegation from this committee went to Finland and attended a discussion on its system for dealing with special needs. Finland seems to have a flexible system along the lines of what Ms Griffin suggests, whereby a child is removed temporarily from the class and then brought back. The system there seems to be based on the child's needs more so than here. Children there might have intensive help for a while and then may not need it any longer or may drop in and out of the system. Has the NCSE looked at any systems such as that?
