I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department provides funding to schools towards the cost of assistive technology for pupils in Primary, Post Primary and Special schools for personal computers and specialist software for educational purposes under the Assistive Technology scheme, as set out in my Department's Circular 0010/2013.
An application for assistive technology support for the child referred to by the Deputy, has been received in my Department. Further information has also now recently been received from the school to support this application. The application is now under consideration and a determination will shortly be issued to the school.
