754 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Education and Science if extra educational facilities such as one to one teaching will be offered to a person (details supplied) in County Kildare with a view to meeting the concerns of their parents and ensuring the best possible educational environment for the children; if she will ensure same; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [20480/07]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, the National Council for Special Education is responsible, through its network of local Special Educational Needs Organisers, for allocating resource teachers and special needs assistants to schools to support children with special needs. I have arranged for the details supplied by the Deputy to be forwarded to the NCSE for their attention and direct reply.
All schools have the names and contact details of their local SENO. Parents may also contact their local SENO directly to discuss their child's special educational needs, using the contact details available on www.ncse.ie.
