Extractions: The Minister for Education and Science Mary Hanafin, T.D., today announced 660 extra special needs teaching posts will be put in place in primary schools from next September. Announcing these new posts, Minister Hanafin said these teachers will " ensure that children will have access to resource teaching support as soon as they need it, without having to wait for an individual application to be processed". Each primary school will be allocated resource teaching hours, based on their enrolment figures, to cater for the needs of pupils with high-incidence special educational needs, such as dyslexia. Resources for these pupils were previously only considered on an individual application basis, supported by psychological assessments. For many parents this was a lengthy and expensive process. The model reflects the fact that pupils with more general learning difficulties are distributed throughout the education system, while taking into account the differing needs of the most disadvantaged schools and the evidence that boys have greater difficulties than girls in this regard.

Special Education is a very broad topic. If you are unfamiliar with any aspect of this topic, you may want to use sources such as: "The School Act specifies that school boards are responsible for determining if a child is in need of a special education program. Children with special needs, including those who are gifted and talented , require specialized learning opportunities in order to receive an education that is appropriate for their learning needs. School boards must provide programming for all school-age children, including children with special needs, who live in their district." From: Alberta Learning. (2003). The learning team: a handbook for parents of children with special needs. Edmonton: Alberta Education. p.1. (CURLB 375 SpecEd Alta.) "The term disability is derived from the Latin prefix dis-, meaning negation, separation, lack of, or opposite of; and the Latin habilitas, meaning fitness, and habere, indication to have or to be easily handled. Disability today indicates the lack of power or ability to do something" (Reynolds, 2000, p. 321).
