Special Class for Children with Speech and Language Disorders
Children who have been diagnosed with a specific speech and/or language disorder are eligible to be considered for enrolment for the special language classes, set up in mainstream primary schools by the Department of Education and Skills and the Department of Health and Children.
There are two language classes catering for children with specific speech and/or language disorder (SSLD) in the South Tipperary and West Waterford area. They are based in the Presentation Primary School, Clonmel, Co. Tipperary. The original class was established in 1996 and an additional class was set up in 2006 by the Department of Education and Skills and the Department of Health and Children.
A child with a specific speech and/or language disorder can be recommended for consideration for a place in the language classes by a speech and language therapist, in consultation with a parent/guardian and other professional, as appropriate. According to the terms of DES Circular 0038/2007, eligible pupils may spend up to two years in such classes
