NEW PROJECTS
Impact of COVID-19 on Children with Special Educational Needs
The UCD School of Education has a new project commissioned by the National Council for Special Education, to study the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the education of children with special educational needs. This project is coordinated at UCD by Associate Professor William Kinsella and Dr Joyce Senior, with Drs Jennifer Symonds, Seaneen Sloan, Grainne NiDhomnaill, and Prof. Dympna Devine. The mixed methods project will draw on existing and new data from the Children’s School Lives study of primary schooling, will involve a new online questionnaire with school principals, and will carry out a qualitative case study of special and mainstream schools.
