Proposed Redesignation of Schools for Children with Mild General Learning Disabilities: Principals of Special Schools
2:00 am
Ms Rose-Marie Flanagan:
The NCSE approached a number of schools for children with mild disabilities to cater for children with a moderate diagnosis. Schools in a local area might have taken children from the next town or from other counties that have no school places. They have been forced to open moderate classes, and that is ring-fenced separately in terms of their admissions policy.
