Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection

Special Educational Needs Provision: National Council for Special Education and Health Service Executive

Ms Teresa Griffin:

Thank you, Chairman. I said in my opening statement that the National Council for Special Education is very appreciative of the fact that we still can respond to need. This year we have opened 21 further early intervention classes for children with autism aged from two and a half upward. While that is separate from the therapy issues, it does indicated that the education system has the capacity to respond.
