As the Deputy will be aware, the National Council for Special Education is responsible, through its network of local Special Educational Needs Organisers (SENO) for allocating resource teachers and special needs assistants to schools to support children with special needs. SENOs also make recommendations where assistive technology is required.

My Department has no record of receiving a recommendation from the SENO in question for assistive technology for the pupil referred to by the Deputy.

I have arranged for the details supplied by the Deputy to be forwarded to the NCSE for attention and direct reply.
