Fabulous fun and inclusion for children with special needs
Our mini tennis programmes are an excellent activity for children with special needs. It’s a great opportunity to participate and enjoy the inclusion of playing sports in a familiar place each week.
‘We have a unit for children with autism in the school and we find the tennis lessons excellent for integration purposes. The children really look forward to every class.’
Martin Troy, Principal of Scoil Chiarain CBS.
