Special Educational Needs Organiser (SENO)

What we do

We plan, co-ordinate and review the provision of additional education supports to schools that enrol students with special educational needs in line with Department of Education policy.

SENOs support parents and guardians by providing information, establishing special classes and engaging with other professionals working with your child.

SENOs advise and support parents around the availability of special classes, special schools and other educational supports.

SENOs process Transport and Assistive Technology applications and forward to the Department of Education for sanction.

SENOs provide parents with advice and useful tips on transition from preschool to school from primary school to post primary school and onto adult services. Click here for more information.
