Important options and information for parents
The National Council for Special Education (NCSE) has today published the list of special classes available in Primary and Post Primary schools across County Louth. The list provides important information to assist parents in supporting their child’s education.
Minister of State for Special Education and Inclusion, Josepha Madigan T.D., welcomed the publication, saying, “The publication today of the list of special classes for this September will be a great support to parents and families of young people with special educational needs, and confirms the commitment to ensure that young people have appropriate school places suitable to their needs.
“I want to thank everyone in the National Council for Special Education for their work in supporting special education and the establishment of special classes. Across the country, the number of special classes continues to grow year-on-year.
“Today’s announcement is another step on the road to strengthening support and inclusion in our education system for the benefit of all students, and will ensure that students have the supports needed to reach their full potential.”
Nicola Codd Regional Manager of the Northern Region NCSE, said: ‘This is a vitally important resource for parents in County Louth. Many parents have anxieties about their child’s education and how they will cope but this is especially true for parents of children with Special Educational needs.
“While many of these special classes will be fully or nearly fully subscribed at this time, we want to increase awareness of the options in County Louth to ensure that children with Special Educational needs receive an education that enables them to achieve their potential.
“The list underlines the NCSE’s commitment to providing inclusive, responsive and appropriate education for children in the county. The NCSE would like to thank all the schools who have responded positively to the local SENOs request to establish additional special classes for the forthcoming year.
A full list of all classes can be found HERE and any parent with questions is encouraged to visit www.NCSE.ie or contact their local SENO for further advice and supports including information on new special classes opening in 2022 or beyond.
