Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism

Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Sarah Murphy:

I would like to say about the autism classes that it tends to be the last teacher into the school that gets the autism class. That is my experience. It is very hard to teach in an autism class if you have no training. It is very stressful on the teacher. The schools are kind of making it up as they go along. I am sure not all schools are, but that is my experience. It is the most inexperienced teacher or the teacher just out of college who gets the autism class.
