Cad é an Fóram Comhairliúcháin?
Leis an bhFóram Comhairliúcháin, téann an Chomhairle Náisiúnta um Oideachas Speisialta (CNOS) i dteagmháil le saineolaithe i réimsí ábhartha amhail oideachas, ionchuimsiú agus míchumas maidir le hábhair a bhaineann le hoideachas speisialta.
Féadfaidh CNOS suas le 17 mball a cheapadh. Ina theannta sin, ceapann an tAire Oideachais triúr ball.
Tharla an próiseas ceapacháin is déanaí san earrach 2023 agus beidh na ceapacháin sin i bhfeidhm go dtí mí na Nollag 2026.
Bunaíodh an Fóram faoi alt 22 den Acht um Oideachas do Dhaoine a bhfuil Riachtanais Speisialta Oideachais acu (EPSEN) 2004.
