Work Experience/Placements: If you are currently studying a course that requires a placement in a Special Education setting, please complete the form below and return it to the school. Please note we get a huge number of applications for placements for various different courses and so it is not possible to facilitate every application we receive. We recommend submitting applications before Halloween midterm for the school year that placement is required. Applications for placements (found below) should be submitted in person to the school together with an Autism Ireland application for Garda Vetting (also found below), photo ID and proof of address (utility bill, P60, bank/credit union statement). This can take up to 8 weeks to process so it is important to apply well in advance of your required dates. Placements cannot go ahead without a satisfactory vetting disclosure from the Garda Vetting Bureau. A statutory declaration form must be completed and returned if you are 18+years of age .
*TRANSITION YEAR/SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS* Abacas Special School is no longer is a position to offer placements to TY students.
