St Teresa’s is a Special School in the East Galway catchment area which was founded in September 2008, under the patronage of Ability West. The school caters for pupils from 4 to 18 years of age. We also have a preschool class for children with Autism. We aim to provide a broad and balanced curriculum for all our children whose needs are best met in this setting.

We offer a full educational curriculum which is underpinned and supported by a multi- disciplinary team of specialists. We adopt a holistic approach and create programmes that cater for the specific needs of each individual child.

We cater for children with special needs in the following areas:

• Moderate Intellectual difficulties with Autism;
• Complex needs or multiple physical disabilities;
• Severe to Profound intellectual disabilities with or without complex needs;
• Children who qualify for the pre-school Autism Unit.

If ever there is anything you want to discuss about your child please do not hesitate to contact our Principal Anita at any time. This school’s door is always open and Anita and the staff would love to hear from you.
