Adam Harris told RTÉ Radio 1's This Week programme that while there has been progress in recent weeks, the charity believes "over 100 students" at primary and secondary school do not have a school place for September.
"That's a source of great anxiety for many families. Every child needs to prepare but particularly for our children that preparation is so important".
The National Council for Special Education (NCSE), which the Department of Education cited in a statement to the programme, "understands that 1,789 primary and 738 post-primary special classrooms have been sanctioned for the coming school year 2022/2023."
The NCSE continued by saying that they "think that these new classes and special school places will now supply the necessary places to fulfil the level of demand for this September."
According to Mr. Harris, the remark suggests that the temporary usage of "Special Education Centers" is not going to happen.
"If there are enough places, it is a proposal that won't advance, according to the Department's statement," he said.
Mr. Harris continued by saying that advocacy organisations have never accepted the plan.
He also made the point that just because some kids may have gotten a spot in school for the upcoming school year doesn't guarantee the spot is "suitable."
"We have a whole journey to travel before we make our system inclusive."
He admitted to the programme that many kids had to travel long distances to get to school and that certain schools lacked support workers.
