St Michael's N.S. in Donaghmoyne is the latest to be approved for the development of ASD classes. The school is already enrolling pupils for the two new classrooms which will open in time for the next academic year in September.
Local Senator Robbie Gallagher said the National Council for Special Needs Education sanctioned the additional classrooms. Praising the behind-the-scenes work carried out by St Michael's staff in securing the facilities, Senator Gallagher said the new classes will provide an "autism-friendly learning environment within a mainstream school" setting for local children.
Anyone who would like information regarding enrolment should contact the school at [email protected]."
