Dear Parents/Guardians,
My name is Carol Chamberlain. I'm a 3rd year Bachelor of Arts (BA) student in Childcare Management in Athlone Institute of Technology, Westmeath.
I'm currently conducting a research study for my presentation on children with disabilities (3 years) and social inclusion in a Childcare setting paying particular attention to how the facility has been modified to cater for their needs . I was wondering if you would be willing to help me by filling out a questionnaire?
Specialised facilities for children with autism have been announced for four Galway schools this term.
The Autism Spectrum Disorder Units aim to integrate children with severe autism into the wider school community.
These facilities will be provided in Merlin Woods National School in Doughiska, Gort Community School, Archbishop McHale College in Tuam and Gairmscoil Mhuire in Athenry.
The 6 pupil classes are delivered by a dedicated teacher with the support of two special needs assistants.
