Only 5% of children in Laois/Offaly got assessments within a legal timeframe.
The Special Education Minister claims there's a effort across the Government to increase third-level places for occupational therapy, speech and language therapy courses.
It follows HSE figures released last week showing only 5% of children in Laois/Offaly were getting finalised disability assesments within a legal timeframe of six months.
Minister Michael Moynihan is visiting special schools across Offaly today to see the work being done to support students.
He says that it's part of many measures being taken to address the crisis:
