Master of Arts in Early Intervention and Inclusive Practice for Children

Technological University of the Shannon: Midlands Midwest

The Master of Arts in Early Intervention and Inclusive Practice for Children is a pioneering programme designed to provide postgraduate-level study for those who wish to enhance their knowledge, skills and competencies in working with children (Birth – 12 years) from diverse backgrounds who experience adversity and a resultant inability to meaningfully participate in their education. This adversity may result from various sources, including but not limited to disability, additional learning needs (ALN), poverty, parental substance abuse, and social/emotional disturbance. Irrespective of the source, childhood adversity and the subsequent need for early intervention to support inclusive practice is an area of widespread interest that reaches far beyond Ireland. Therefore, this master’s degree will appeal to national and international graduates. The overarching aim of this programme is to equip students with the skills, knowledge and competencies required to successfully support inclusion of all children experiencing challenges within their learning and development.
