The Irish Sign Language (ISL) Tuition Scheme provides funding for a weekly tuition service. Tutors visit the home of a deaf or hard of hearing pre-school child or school-going pupil to provide training in ISL for the child, their siblings, their grandparent(s) and parents or guardian.
The parent or guardian of the child who needs the service must submit the completed form to the Special Education Section.
Sections of the form must be completed by the school principal, visiting teacher for the deaf or hard of hearing and ISL tutor.
104 hours tuition are provided throughout the school year broken down as 1 hour per week for the 44 weeks from September to June, increasing to 7.5 hours per week for the 8 weeks of July and August.
Alternatively, at the request of the Visiting teacher, the 104 hours tuition can be given at the rate of 2 hours per week for the 52 weeks from September to August
