The Derry public have been asked to respond to a new consultation on the future of special educational needs nursery provision, which opened today.
The Department of Education is carrying out a consultation process on plans to transform special education at nursery level.
Sinn Féin education spokesperson Karen Mullan said: “We welcome this consultation and I would strongly encourage all stakeholders, especially parents to take part.
“It is essential that children with special educational needs receive timely and appropriate early intervention, support and protection to ensure they have the best possible life chances.
“This consultation is an opportunity to make the case for that and to stress the importance of properly resourcing special educational needs provision.
The consultation is open until May 24 and details of the proposals are available on the EA website.
