Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy is aware, an ASD Unit, including a sensory room has been established in the school in question. In this regard, my Department provided start-up grants to the school for this purpose.
Start-up grants assist schools in purchasing teaching aids, classroom equipment or carrying out alterations for newly established special classes. It is open to the school in question to determine how this grant is expended within the ASD Unit/Sensory Room.
