On 3rd February 2012, the NCSE launched their policy advice paper on the education of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children in Ireland.
This policy advice from the NCSE maps out the future direction for the education of over 3,000 Deaf and hard of hearing children in Ireland.
Launching the policy advice, Ms. Teresa Griffin, CEO of the NCSE stated that ‘We want to transform the education system to enable Deaf and hard of hearing children achieve at the same levels as all other children. Deaf and hard of hearing children must be exposed to language – signed or spoken or both- from as early as possible. Ms Griffin said that the NCSE paper sets out ‘clear messages about what must be put in place for this goal to be achieved.’
