Enrolment

We cater for pupils aged 4-18 years with a diagnosis of ASD and where it is recommended that the child would benefit from placement in a special school for children with Autism.  We currently have maximum enrolment of 30 pupils.​  Places become available as one pupil leaves or graduates.

​​Please find below our pre-enrolment form.  Please return this form to the school with copies of your son/daughter’s most recent psychology report, confirming a diagnosis of ASD (as per the DSM-IV criteria) and a recommendation for ASD specific special school.

This report should be no more than 2 years old.  At the point of offer, the updated report must confirm the need for an ASD specific special school (as opposed to mainstream education or a mainstream school with an ASD unit).  Enrolment may be refused if this criteria is not specified.

As it is a requirement of our enrolment policy, we cannot place a child's name on the list until the report has been received.  Placing a child's name on the list does not imply or guarantee an enrolment.


Completed pre-enrolment forms and reports should be marked "Pre-Enrolment" and returned to 

Abacas Special School, 
Treepark Road, 
Kilnamanagh, 
Dublin 24

Please complete this form and return it with your son/daughter's application:
