| Abstract: | ABSTRACT Special education in Ireland can be understood only against the background of the general system of education which is briefly described at the beginning of this article. While some special provision dates back to the nineteenth century the great expansion of services has happened in the past 30 years. The form of provision reflects the characteristics of the general system. Ireland has no legislation governing special education and the future is not easy to read just now. |
