EDUC00050 Inclusive Education of Students with Additional Educational Needs

Academic Year 2024/2025

This module sets the foundation for the course through enabling knowledge of the history and structure of the Special Needs Assistant scheme, as described in the relevant Department of Education Circular 0030/2014.

In addition, the foundational philosophy of the SNA Scheme is firmly grounded in Inclusive Education through interrogation of inclusive education philosophy and practice as it applies to Irish and international educational systems.

The role of the Special Needs Assistant, as part of an overall support system within inclusive classroom environments, will be fully explored within this module. In addition, a basic knowledge of key conditions, within additional needs, will be presented, while highlighting the key skills and competences needed by SNAs in order to successfully support care needs within these conditions.
