2.The Essential Guide to Special Education In Ireland
The
Essential Guide to Special Education in
Ireland by CJ Fallon is the first book to provide an
overview of Special Education in Ireland. It is written for parents and
teachers who are involved with children who have learning difficulties, across
the spectrum from dyslexia to autism.
The international trend towards teaching these children in mainstream schools
(as opposed to Special Schools) is being implemented in Ireland over the past
ten years. The book describes how the entire process works, from identifying
the initial signs of a learning difficulty through the assessment process and
on to the formulation of the all-important ‘Individual Education Plan’. It
describes each special education condition in detail, and provides parents,
teachers and principals with all the information and help they need to ensure
they are doing all they can to provide every child with access to appropriate
education.
