Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 October 2005
740 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Education and Science the reason a person (details supplied) in County Mayo is not receiving 3.5 hours continued resource teaching support per week as recommended by their psychologist; and if this case will be reviewed. [29272/05]
Amharc ar fhreagraI confirm that an application for individual resource teaching hours was made to the relevant special educational needs organiser, SENO, of the National Council for Special Education, NCSE. The application in question did not meet the criteria for resource teaching hours and this decision was conveyed to the pupil's parents by the SENO. The NCSE will, however, undertake to review a decision on resource teaching supports on foot of a request from the school or parents-guardians when accompanied by relevant additional information, which may not have been to hand at the time of the original decision. The NCSE has outlined this process in its circular 01/05 which issued to all primary schools.
