An application for Assistive Technology has been received and processed for the student in question. The terms and conditions for the Assistive Technology Scheme are outlined in my Department's Circular 0010/2013 which is published. Under the Scheme, applications are made to the National Council for Special Education who process the application and make a recommendation to my Department.
The student in this case does not qualify for support under the Scheme because documentary evidence of a diagnosed disability or a medical condition has not been provided.
The family has been informed of this decision.
