Renno123

how do i go about getting work experience from
a primary school, ideally one that specializes in autism or other psychological
issues. ?
I have emailed my cv to numerous primary schools with no reply.

i am a recent graduate looking for work experience before starting my further studies in psychology..
but this doesnt seem to be working. I am garda vetted, have doen 2 weeks exp in a primary school before and studied psychology as part of my degree.. ,
any advise?

Have you tried ringing the schools? This sometimes gets a better response than an email. I know the ABA schools used to take volunteers, depending on where you are based this might suit

I would love to work in an ABA school, how do i find out if one is close to me? is
there a list somewhere.

I don't know if there is a list but if you google the names you should get the contact details; Saplings, Abalta (Galway), The Jonah project (Waterford), St Catherines (Wicklow), ABACUS, Red Door, Stepping Stones, Athas (Mayo) and Jonix run ABA preschools. Hope you get somewhere!

Might be worth contacting Irish Autism Action, they will have contacts in most of the schools.
