Abstract

Despite recent government policy in Ireland, there remains considerable debate as to whether or not some pupils with special educational needs fare better in specialist schools, or cope more effectively in mainstream settings. For example, there would appear to be some inconsistencies between policy and practice. But what do frontline staff think and how can the current situation be improved for the benefit of all Irish children with special educational needs?
