Purpose
The purpose of the Home Tuition Grant Scheme is to provide funding towards the provision of a
compensatory educational service for
Children aged between 2 ½ and 3 years with a diagnosis of autism
Early educational intervention for children with autism who meet the scheme’s eligibility criteria
Students with special educational needs seeking an educational placement in a recognised
school
The aim of the Department is to meet the needs of families and to ensure every child is allocated a
suitable school placement. The preferred approach is that children are educated in school settings
where children may have access to fully qualified teachers, individualised education programmes,
special needs assistants, school curriculum with the option, where possible and appropriate, of full or
partial integration and interaction with student peers. Accordingly, Home Tuition is provided as an
interim measure only for children for whom a placement in a recognised school is not currently available
and should not be regarded as an optional alternative to a school placement.
