Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism

Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Karen O'Mahony:

Ms Jones is right. The clinical approach is not working. That is why they are not invested in it. Our children are looked at as numbers. Every key worker has between 700 and 900 families, whereas for community groups and organisations like us, each family is not seen as a number. There is a person. A child is at the centre and that is what we see.
