Welcome!

Nestled in the scenic surroundings of Killeshin, Saplings Special School for Autism and Complex needs is a school for children with a diagnosis of Autism between the ages of 4 to 18 years. As Principal, it is my pleasure to warmly welcome you to our school website. We appreciate you taking the time to visit and hope it provides you with valuable insights into the vibrant life of our school, along with useful information.

At Saplings, we take immense pride in our commitment to child centered, evidence-based teaching and learning, which is complemented by our focus on the holistic development of the students to prepare them for lifelong learning. We believe our school is an extension of both the home and community, where your child’s well-being and happiness are always our top priority. Together with the Board of Management, we are dedicated to creating a safe and supportive learning environment for children of all abilities and needs. 

Our dedicated staff is fully committed to fostering an environment where every child can thrive intellectually, emotionally, and socially.
