Accessing Supports

Junior Cycle Supports:

Students may be supported through:

Team Teaching in mainstream classes
Literacy and Numeracy Support
Social Skills Support
Short Courses
Level 2 Learning Programmes
Skills for Life (QQI Level 2)

Our goal is to support students within mainstream classes wherever possible, while providing additional support when needed.

Senior Cycle Supports

Students may follow a range of pathways including:

Leaving Certificate
Leaving Certificate Applied (LCA)
Leaving Community and Work (formally LCVP)

Students continue to receive AEN support where appropriate to help them access the curriculum and assessments.

Assistive Technology

Some students benefit from assistive technology to support their learning, and have recommendations for such from a designated educational specialist (reports)
Examples include:

Laptops
Reading pens
Speech-to-text software
Text-to-speech software
Digital organisational tools

Assistive technology is introduced where it supports a student’s independence and access to learning.
