Addressing the Needs of Children who are Educationally
Disadvantaged and of Children with Special Needs
One of the main objectives of the CECDE is "to develop targeted interventions on a pilot basis for children who are educationally disadvantaged and children with special needs".
While the projects arising from this objective primarily focus on children who experience disadvantage or who have special needs, it is important to point out that each project will generate universally applicable knowledge. The evidence and learning gained from the projects will benefit the development of quality early childhood care and education for all children in Ireland.
The first 5 projects have been completed and were published in 2006. Full reports are available for each report on each project's page, as well as Executive Summaries which have been published as the CECDE Research Series 2006.
