Special Educational Needs
Dail Éireann — 2022-11-24
============================================================

Joan Collins (I4C), Dublin South-Central

What is the Minister of State's view on whether updated special needs reports should be ceased, given that schools are still seeking updated reports for children with special needs, in particular for secondary schools, and the fact that parents are stressed attempting to access private assessments to obtain a place for their child? Private assessments can cost anything up to €1,500, so it is an expensive avenue.
