Education for Persons with Special Educational Needs Bill 2003: Report and Final Stages.

 

1:00 pm

Síle de Valera (Clare, Fianna Fail)

In layman's language, those two words are interchangeable. We are proposing to provide an educational plan specific or individual to a particular child with special educational needs. I use the word "specific" because the essence of this legislation is that it provides for the specific needs of specific children. The question of individual plans features in the legislation and therefore the issue about which the Senator has concerns is adequately covered.
