The D.A.I has been in operation many years and have acted to increase early interventions
in childhood learning difficulites issues, to my knowledge in the last many years their
annual conference has not been attended by a sitting Minister for Education. To expand on the
last point in the piece on the mainstreaming issue:-
Early intervention in some learing difficulty situations can lead to a different view of education
for a child who is coping with differentness, the programmes generally available to kids
with dyslexia are tailored to phonics and intervention remedial/resource teaching. They can
get a reader for exams and their corrections take account of their issues. This does
not occur beyond primary level in the State service, with most secondary kids only budgetted
for one half hour a week with resource or guidance counselling. They do retain such
frredoms as exemptions from Irish and readers/separate rooms but intervention and supports
are lessened in secondary. This means they are lost in the miasma of over full classrooms
and big faculties or campuses, with little in the way of supports. In exam situations, the need
for recognition of the difficulties can lead to self-isolation of kids. They learn differently.

The business is in relation to recent problems with access to schools and they are
seeking an affirmation that no child should be denied access to education on the
basis of religion or race, they are calling for the Convention on Education to ensure
that a National Education Plan is in Place to ensure future education needs are met.
This goes hand in hand with reports in the Independent Last week that the RC
Church is in discussions to sell some of its education infrastructure interests
to the State.With up to 20% of existent schools becoming independent and an
assurance sought that the remaining religious schools will have a guarantee
that the Catholic Ethos will be a guiding principle in those schools (given by the State.)

financial support).
