Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection
Proposed Special Educational Needs Model: Discussion
2:45 pm
Mr. Pat Goff:
I will make two brief points in response to the questions raised. A model for speech and language services is in place, as our school has it. A speech and language therapist attends one day per week. I would love to see this model expanded to include occupational therapists. I am referring to an overall package of support for schools, including the special needs assistants whom I mentioned earlier.
