View answerFollowing completion of the project, my Department's National Educational Psychological Service, NEPS, supplied the schools involved with the results of the findings related to their own pupils. I understand the service offered schools in Dundalk consultations and individual educational psychological assessment based on the outcomes of the screening programmes. The service also provided a day seminar on organisation and provision for children with learning difficulties for school principals and learning support teachers and resource teachers in County Leitrim. A final report on the project has not yet been completed.
