Ms Noreen O'Mahony:

I am in a special school and we work as part of a team. A Deputy said earlier that best practice is we all work together as part of a team. The children would not be able to do Literacy Lift Off, for example, because they have different stations in the classroom while this is going on. The extra bodies are needed in the classroom to do this, to break things down and to explain it. We do not teach but we help the children to access the curriculum and we help the teachers.
