Preschool Lachtaín
Preschool Lachtaín, our Early Intervention Unit for preschool children with ASD opened in September 2013. This unit caters for children from three to five years of age who are diagnosed on the autism spectrum. Each class caters for up to six children and is staffed by one class teacher and two special needs assistants. Since September 2021, there are now three classes in the preschool. Each child will follow individual education plans which will cater to his/her individual needs. Children in the unit will remain with us for approximately two years before advancing to their local mainstream school or to an ASD unit attached to a mainstream school
This is the only Early Intervention ASD preschool in County Kilkenny. School transport is provided for qualifying pupils. Once an assessment of ASD is made, parents can apply to our school for enrolment.
In September 2019, we moved into our new, state of the art building which comprises of two large classrooms, each with it's own withdrawal room, where the children can enjoy one-to-one teaching time or a quiet break, if necessary. We have a Para-Ed Room, equipped with a large ball pool. Next door is our Sensory Room with projector, sound bar, bubble tube and specialist lighting. We have a multipurpose hall where the children can expend a lot of energy and have fun together.
