Apply for targeted supports Applying for AIM targeted supports is a simple process, regardless of the type of support being applied for the application process is largely the same. Applications for targeted supports are made by the pre-school provider in collaboration with the parent. Most pre-school providers should be familiar with the AIM application process and be able to guide parents through the application. For help with finding a pre-school, or applying to AIM for targeted supports you can contact the Better Start Early Years Specialist Service at EYPC@pobal.ie or your local CCC, which can be found at myccc.ie. Eligibility An application can be made for AIM targeted supports if, the child and pre-school is registered within the ECCE (Early Childhood Care and Education) programme. *In certain cases, children not part of the ECCE programme can avail of targeted supports. Please note that, a formal diagnosis of disability is not required to receive AIM targeted supports. View the full AIM rules in our AIM Policy and Rules section for more information. The Application Process When starting the application process, it is important to carefully read the application form and ensure that both parent and provider consent to the application for AIM supports. You should consider the following: what supports are required? is the child eligible for AIM support? is the child moving pre-school? or currently in receipt of AIM supports? Once all information is to hand, the provider will submit an application form to Pobal through the Early Years Hive Platform in collaboration with the parent. If a pre-school provider requires support submitting an AIM application, they can raise a request via the Early Years Hive. Alternatively, you can contact the Early Years Provider Centre (EYPC) Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm (10am to 5pm on Wednesday) at 01 511 7222. A pre-school provider or parent who has not applied for AIM level 4 can raise a request via the Early Years Hive or call the Early Years Provider Centre and request a call back from an Early Years Specialist in relation to the application process also. The EYSS can provide advice on the appropriate supports for a child, transitions to primary school and assist with any stage of the targeted supports application process. After submission, Pobal will review the application and notify the provider and parent of the outcome. Applicants can accept, reject or request more information on the application. A rejection can be appealed by the parent or the provider through the Early Years Hive also. All application queries can be made to Pobal – (onlinesupport@pobal.ie / 01 5117222). When to Apply Applications for targeted supports should be made in May so they are in place for the start of the pre-school year, however, they can be applied for year-round. If a child in receipt of targeted supports moves to another pre-school, a new AIM application must be submitted by the new pre-school provider with the child’s parents. If children in a service are eligible to avail of level 7 support for a second year, are returning to the same pre-school for a second year, and their circumstances have not changed, the setting must submit a second year extension request for all eligible children. This request can be submitted via the AIM tab on the Early Years Hive Platform.

Conas Iarratas a dhéanamh ar Thacaíochtaí Spriocdhírithe Tá an próiseas a bhaineann le hiarratas a dhéanamh ar thacaíochtaí spriocdhírithe AIM simplí, tá an próiseas iarratais mórán mar an gcéanna is cuma faoin gcineál tacaíochta a bhfuil iarratas á dhéanamh uirthi. An soláthraí réamhscoile a dhéanann iarratais ar thacaíochtaí spriocdhírithe i gcomhar leis an tuismitheoir. Ba cheart go mbeadh formhór na soláthraithe réamhscoile eolach ar phróiseas iarratais AIM agus ba cheart go mbeidís in ann cabhrú le tuismitheoirí leis an iarratas. Má theastaíonn cabhair uait chun réamhscoil a aimsiú, nó iarratas a dhéanamh ar thacaíochtaí spriocdhírithe AIM is féidir leat teagmháil a dhéanamh le Seirbhís Speisialtóra Luathbhlianta Better Start nó le do CCC áitiúil, atá le fáil ag myccc.ie. Incháilitheacht Is féidir iarratas a dhéanamh ar thacaíochtaí spriocdhírithe AIM má tá an leanbh agus an réamhscoil cláraithe mar chuid de Chlár ECCE (Cúram agus Oideachas na Luath-Óige). *I gcásanna áirithe, is féidir le leanaí nach bhfuil páirteach i gclár ECCE tairbhe a bhaint as tacaíochtaí spriocdhírithe. Tabhair faoi deara, nach bhfuil gá le diagnóis fhoirmiúil de mhíchumas chun tacaíochtaí spriocdhírithe AIM a fháil. Féach ar rialacha iomlána AIM i rannóg Bheartas agus Rialacha AIM má theastaíonn tuilleadh faisnéise uait. An Próiseas Iarratais Nuair a chuireann tú tús leis an bpróiseas iarratais, ní mór an fhoirm iarratais a léamh go cúramach agus a chinntiú go dtoilíonn an tuismitheoir agus an soláthraí d’iarratas a dhéanamh ar thacaíochtaí AIM. Ba cheart duit do mhachnamh a dhéanamh ar na ceisteanna seo a leanas: céard iad na tacaíochtaí atá ag teastáil? an bhfuil an leanbh incháilithe chun tacaíocht AIM a fháil? An bhfuil an leanbh ag bogadh ó réamhscoil amháin go réamhscoil eile? nó an bhfuil adhtacaíochtaí AIM á bhfáil i láthair na huaire? Nuair atá an fhaisnéis ar fad bailithe, cuirfidh an soláthraí foirm iarratais faoi bhráid Pobal tríd an Early Years Hive Platform. Má theastaíonn comhairle uait maidir le tacaíochtaí oiriúnacha do leanbh nó aon chéim den phróiseas iarratais, is féidir cabhair a fháil trí ghlaoch ar Sheirbhís Speisialtóra Luathbhlianta Better Start (EYSS): (01) 511 7222 (idir 8a.m. agus 6p.m. Luan go hAoine) nó trí ríomhphost a sheoladh chuig: EYPC@pobal.ie. Is féidir le soláthraí réamhscoile nó tuismitheoir nach bhfuil iarratas déanta aige ar AIM leibhéal 4 glaoch ar nó ríomhphost a sheoladh chuig EYSS chun glaoch teileafóin a eagrú le Speisialtóir Luathbhlianta i ndáil leis an bpróiseas iarratais freisin. Is féidir le EYSS comhairle a sholáthar maidir leis na tacaíochtaí oiriúnacha do leanbh, aistriú chuig an mbunscoil agus cabhrú le haon chéim den phróiseas iarratais ar thacaíochtaí spriocdhírithe. I ndiaidh iarratas a dhéanamh, athbhreithneoidh Pobal an t-iarratas agus cuirfear an toradh in iúl don soláthraí agus don tuismitheoir. Féadfaidh iarratasóirí glacadh le, diúltú do nó tuilleadh faisnéise a lorg maidir leis an iarratas. Is féidir leis an tuismitheoir nó an soláthraí diúltú a achomharc tríd an Early Years Hive freisin. Is féidir gach ceist maidir leis an iarratas a chur faoi bhráid Pobal – (onlinesupport@pobal.ie / 01 5117222). Cathain Iarratas a Dhéanamh Ba cheart iarratais ar thacaíochtaí spriocdhírithe a dhéanamh i mí Bealtaine ionas go bhfuil gach rud eagraithe do thús na bliana réamhscoile, ach is féidir iarratas a dhéanamh am ar bith den bhliain. Má bhogann leanbh atá ag fáil tacaíochtaí spriocdhírithe chuig réamhscoil eile, ní mór don soláthraí réamhscoile nua iarratas nua AIM a dhéanamh i dteannta le tuismitheoirí an linbh. Má tá leanaí i seirbhís incháilithe chun tairbhe a bhaint as tacaíocht leibhéal 7 le haghaidh na dara bliana, ag filleadh ar an réamhscoil chéanna don dara bliain as a chéile, agus mura bhfuil aon athrú tagtha ar a ndálaí, ní mór don suíomh iarratas ar shíneadh don dara bliain a dhéanamh do gach leanbh incháilithe. Is féidir an t-iarratas seo a dhéanamh trí tháb AIM ar an Early Years Hive Platform.
