Is clár céimnithe fónaice / litearthachta é 'Mar a Déarfá!' chun líofacht léitheoireachta agus cruinneas scríofa agus litrithe a mhúineadh don chainteoir dúchais Gaeilge.

Dírítear sa chlár ar na fuaimeanna a dhéanann an cainteoir dúchais ina theanga labhartha féin a cheangal lena bhfoirmeacha scríofa.

Dírítear ar dtús ar An Cód Soiléir - nó na 41 bunlitriú do phríomhfhuaimeanna na Gaeilge. Is iad na 41 bunlitriú sin an chéad chéim agus an bhunchloch don léamh agus don scríobh. Leantar le céimeanna eile an chláir ansin (An Cód Doiléir, nó na bealaí eile le príomhfhuaimeanna na Gaeilge a litriú) go dtí go mbaineann foghlaimeoirí amach ardchaighdeán cruinnis i léamh agus i scríobh

na teanga.

Tá os cionn 200 cód litrithe sa Ghaeilge.

The SEN Early Years Inclusion Service will remain operational during the summer.

We will continue to be contactable every working day by phone and our team members will be available to assist with enquiries.

All newly referred families will receive a telephone call from a team member to introduce the service, gather information and provide initial support.

Families already working with an assigned team member can get in touch using contact details provided by their link.

We are updating our web tile on an ongoing basis and have increased our range of downloadable resources and online training themes.

This will continue to be expanded throughout the summer months.

The service is currently planning towards the start of the new school year and will be following the guidance of the Department of Education and The Public Health Agency in seeking to move towards a more normal service delivery.

We expect to continue to deliver at least a partially digital service for a period of time, however, and are improving our understanding and use of technologies to broaden our remote support programme.

Our aim throughout is to ensure that all families and early educational settings are able to access the service by the means that suit them best.

Scared Gang - A handbook explaining the importance of staying home to children in Irish

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Scared Gang

For enquiries about The Scared Gang please contact:

The Scared Gang books are written by Éadaoin Bhreathnach and illustrated by Sighle Bhreathnach-Cashell. This series helps children to recognise their own survival patterns through the Scared Gang characters. Each character represents a different pattern and tells children how they can self regulate through the use of food and sensory-based activities.

The Scared Gang Have To Stay At Home
This story is for young children to inform them about Covid-19 and how to stay safe, healthy and happy. It is to reassure children that if they follow the guidelines they can remain safe and do not need to be scared.

Background History
The Scared Gang series was first written in 2006 for children who have suffered trauma and abuse. Secure children can express fear in the expectation that the caring adult will rescue, protect and comfort them. Insecure children are afraid to express their fear in case it places them in more danger. They need reassurance that they can safely express their fears.

The Scared Gang and Self -Regulation
The Scared Gang represents our survival behaviours. The purpose of these books is to normalise the feeling of fear. It is something that we all experience. Fear is a natural state that is designed to physiologically activate a protective response in us in the face of danger. Survival behaviours are adaptive responses. They are there to ensure we survive. Fear however becomes a problem if we can't acknowledge it, or can't take the necessary steps to regain control. The Scared Gang books show children how to self-regulate when they experience states of: hyper-vigilance, fear, flight, fight, freeze, dissociation or shutdown.

Children reading the books have expressed that they take comfort in the knowledge that they are not alone. Many children have said "I thought I was the only one who felt like this, but I can't be because somebody has written about it."
The books empower children, as they realise they are already seeking out some of the activities the Scared Gang do. They help children and their Carers to become consciously aware of the different states and how the choice of food and sensory motor activities can shift these states. Children also learn to interpret survival behaviours of others through the stories e.g. when Fired-Up Freda is angry it means she is frightened. Children have gone on to write their own Scared Gang Story about themselves so that caring adults can understand them better.

Blaiseadh den Ghaeilgephonetic spelling is given for each word or phrase to help you pronounce them. However, some sounds are difficult to represent in this simplistic format and, therefore, some may not accurately do so. Nevertheless, it should still serve as a useful guide and get you off to a good start.
