Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Special Needs Education: Impact of Covid-19
Mr. Mark O'Connor:
The Deputy has hit on a very important point. We must be mindful the country was faced with a situation that nobody could have ever imagined with schools closed down and people scrambling to address that. Our own survey, which we would have presented to the Minister in May, indicated that for children with intellectual disabilities and autism, home education has been pretty much non-existent. It has been very difficult for parents to engage that.
