Resource to Support Children with SEN
Working parties of principals, teachers, lecturers and other educationalists have brought their considerable skills and experience together and have identified useful and effective strategies with the aim to produce a Resource File for Special Educational Needs (SEN).
It is hoped that this file and its resources can be deployed to support children not only with SEN but with a range of barriers to learning.
The Resource File is a work in progress, knowledge and expertise in teaching children with SEN is evolving continually and with this in mind, additional sections will be released through C2k and schools will be alerted to new materials and will be able to download these and add them to the file.
The file can be downloaded below:-

ASPIRE Resource
In January 2013 the Department held 5 seminars to introduce the ASPIRE document which has been developed to enhance school use of the Resource File to support children with Special Educational Needs.
Aspire is a resource which can be used by individuals, groups of staff or by the staff as a whole and is designed to:build capacity using the Resource File for schools to support children with special Educational Needs.
The portfolio section of the ASPIRE resource has been produced as a separate PDF to enable schools to download as required.
