Amharc ar fhreagraThe information requested is not held by the Department of Education and Youth.
The Department of Children, Disability and Equality has responsibility for the provision of services to children of pre-school age. The Access and Inclusion Model (AIM) provided by that department, enables the full inclusion and meaningful participation of children with disabilities/additional needs in the Early Childhood Care & Education Scheme (ECCE) programme.
Questions in relation to the ECCE programme should be directed to that Department.
