As the Deputy is aware, the National Council for Special Education (NCSE) has advised my Department that the special educational needs of the child in question were considered by the Special Educational Needs Organisers (SENO). The child's needs fall to be catered for from within the school's general allocation model of teaching resources rather than through the provision of additional teaching hours. I am informed by the NCSE that the local SENO will be in contact with the parents before the school re-opens after the Easter holidays to discuss the child's special educational needs.
