| dc.description | In early 2019, the Inspectorate of the Department of Education and Skills conducted a series of evaluations in mainstream schools in which special classes for learners with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) were allocated. The evaluations were carried out at the request of the National Council for Special Education (NCSE) to provide current, school-based evidence for its policy advice function. Inspectors used the Special Educational Needs (SEN) evaluation model to collect evidence in sixty-five special classes in primary schools and twenty special classes in post-primary schools. In addition to the SEN inspection report published for each of the schools, inspectors collected and returned summary data from each special class for collation and analysis prior to completing this composite report. Inspectors’ data returns included ratings of practice related to the Looking at Our School 2016 statements of effective practice, some ASD specific quantitative observations together with qualitative or observational descriptions of school practice. A meeting of inspectors who participated in the evaluations was also convened following completion of the school visits for discussion and interrogation of their inspection findings. This composite report presents the statistical data in visual format while also analysing inspectors’ comments and excerpts from the published school reports to establish the key findings. | en |
