In-school therapies for pupils to begin next year, starting with special schools, Education Minister Helen McEntee says

The Irish government is set to introduce speech and language therapy in special schools toward the end of the next academic year, as confirmed by Education Minister Helen McEntee. This initiative is part of a broader roll-out of national therapy services in education aimed at providing crucial support for students with special needs. The new therapy services will subsequently expand, enhancing educational resources for these schools and improving access to language support for children who require it.

"Speech and language therapy will be introduced in a number of special schools next year, with an expansion of the service to follow afterwards," Education Minister Helen McEntee stated.

"The roll-out of these therapies in schools is part of the introduction of the national therapy service in education, which will begin in special schools in the later part of the next academic year."
