Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Education Needs of Visually Impaired Students: Discussion
11:00 am
Ms Toni O'Dwyer:
I will give one example. It is, however, many years since Ms Agbona had the option to go into transition year. To show how things have not changed, my first call at 8.15 a.m. concerned a 15-year-old boy who is not allowed to go on a trip abroad because there is no SNA to go with him, or the school will not pay for the SNA. He does not even have the option of having a parent to go with him.
