I can confirm that an application for special educational resources for the pupil referred to by the Deputy has been reviewed by my Department. The application did not meet the criteria for resource teaching support as per my Department's circulars.

Children with assessed syndromes are eligible for additional educational resources if the psychological and/or other specialist report confirms the existence of one of the low incidence disabilities listed as per Department circular SP ED 09/04.
