View answerDuring the year 2002, the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment, NCCA, issued draft guidelines for teachers of students with general learning disabilities. These curriculum guidelines have been in use in schools since then and have been the subject of consultation between NCCA and the education partners with a view to revising them as necessary. They cover the age range from four to 18 years old.
