A new class specially designed for children with autism is to open at Scoil na Maighdine Mhuire in Newmarket in Fergus from September.

The class will be called 'acorn', and see children educated in a specially-designed setting with a much lower pupil-teacher ratio.
Only a small number of Clare schools have such a facility, so in many cases parents face having to send their children who have autism to a special school.
