Thank you for taking the time to highlight this most crucial issue. We need to move beyond the physical inclusion of children in mainstream early childhood services. Supports are urgently required to enable the full inclusion of children with special educational needs to enable them to participate in pre-school education on an equal level to their peers.

Dear Government, Why not start an intervention as soon as children begin creche/preschool, giving the children an opportunity to enjoy their time in primary school rather than waiting until precious learning time has gone by before getting them the extra help that they need. All research papers state that early intervention is best. So it would make sense to start it when children attend creches. Thanks for listening. Regards Michelle

Supports are urgently needed on a similar basis to support children from birth that need specialist supports. This model should provide for all tranisitions and should have at its core value the specific needs of the individual child.

This is such a vital service and would make a huge difference in children's outcomes. Please listen to experts and parents and look to how investment now will pay off in the long run
absolutley appalled at the lack of provision in the budget for early years

Why are children's special needs only recognised once they go into the primary school system?
