Inclusive Practice for Special Needs Assistance

ATU Donegal

From the age of 8 I have always wanted to be an SNA and I was so happy to find out that Letterkenny was offering a programme. I had a look at the modules that we would be covering and knew straight away that this was the course for me

I have enjoyed my time studying at ATU. I find the course interesting, and the lecturers are very helpful if you have a question about a particular topic. I also like that I am a part of a small class group as this gives us more time to discuss a certain topic that you might not understand.

This year we went on placement for 8 weeks and I really enjoyed it. It really gave me the opportunity to put all the theory I have learned over the past two years into practice, and it helped me understand more about the role of a special needs assistant in a school setting.
