Exciting Developments in St Angela's College, Sligo for people with an Intellectual Disability
St Angela’s College Sligo, in conjunction the National Institute for Intellectual Disability (NIID), Trinity College Dublin, has just commenced delivering a module on the innovative two year Certificate in Contemporary Living to twenty three persons with an intellectual disability. The module entitled ‘Personal Effectiveness’ aims at enabling the new students acquire the interpersonal skills necessary to support their ability to participate in their communities. The module attracted significant interest from persons with an intellectual disability and their families. It is perceived as a wonderful opportunity for persons with an intellectual disability to experience college life. For the students and staff of the college it is a privilege to share the campus with such enthusiastic students. This development reiterates St. Angela’s College commitment to inclusive education according to the President, Dr. Anne Taheny. The module content is being delivered by lecturers from the Department of Nursing & Health Studies and Education.
