SEN Autism Research / Taighde Uathachais RSO

SEN Project Key Points:

Autism is not an illness or disease.
Neurodivergent people (including Autistic people) process information differently to neurotypical people.
Autistic people or people with autism often have other co-occurring conditions.
Many people have some autistic traits but this does not mean they are autistic.
Social interaction, communication, sensory and information processing can be difficult for autistic people.
ABA should not be practiced and can have detrimental affects on individuals who experience it.
NCSE was set up to improve the quality of education for people with Special Educational Needs in Ireland.
Since the EPSEN Act in 2004, the number of the number of autism-related special classes and units has grown in main-stream education.
It is essential to cater towards each student's individual educational / learning needs.

Príomhphointí Tionscadail RSO:

Ní tinneas ná galar é uathachas.
Déanann daoine neurodivergent (lena n-áirítear daoine uathacha) faisnéis a phróiseáil ar bhealach difriúil le daoine neurotypical.
Is minic a bhíonn coinníollacha eile ag daoine uathacha nó ag daoine a bhfuil uathachas orthu.
Tá tréithe uathacha ag go leor daoine ach ní chiallaíonn sé sin go bhfuil siad uathach.
Is féidir le hidirghníomhú sóisialta, cumarsáid, céadfach agus próiseáil faisnéise a bheith deacair do dhaoine uathacha.
Níor cheart AIF (Anailís Iompraíochta Fheidhmeach) a chleachtadh agus d'fhéadfadh tionchar díobhálach a bheith aige ar dhaoine aonair a bhfuil taithí acu air.
Bunaíodh NCSE chun caighdeán an oideachais a fheabhsú do dhaoine a bhfuil Riachtanais Speisialta Oideachais acu in Éirinn.
Ó Acht EPSEN in 2004, tá fás tagtha ar líon na n-aicmí agus na n-aonad speisialta a bhaineann le huathachas san oideachas príomhshrutha.
Tá sé riachtanach freastal ar riachtanais oideachais / foghlama aonair gach dalta.
