As the Deputy will be aware, the National Council for Special Education is responsible, through its network of local Special Educational Needs Organisers (SENOs), for allocating resource teachers and special needs assistants to schools to support children with special needs.
It is open to parents to contact their local SENO directly to discuss their child's special educational needs, including issues that arise in relation to transition from primary to second-level, using the contact details available on www.ncse.ie.
