| The
training event to be held at Tullylagan Country House Hotel
in Cookstown will focus on the effective use of classroom
assistants in special education and delegates will have the
opportunity to attend 3 out of 5 workshops addressing issues
such as Supporting Pupils with Hearing Impairments or Visual
Impairments, pupils with Autistic Spectrum Disorder or Specific
Learning Difficulties and those with Speech and Language Impairments.
Hazel Mullan, SELB Principal Educational Psychologist and
Advisor for Special Needs commented "This is the first
time the SELB have played host to such training for classroom
assistants in the area of Special Education. We have had a
great response from schools wishing to attend and all available
places were filled in a short space of time. I am looking
forward to an informative and full day of activity, discussion
and feedback." She added "This is first step in
an continued training programme within this area for the SELB
and I am positive delegates will find it a rewarding and useful
experience." |
