Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism
Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Noeleen Smith:
I would just like to put out there that even in mainstream schools, in particular in country schools, there is a greater awareness of autism for young children to understand their peers with autism, and not just in schools where there are autism class. In general, there are programmes available in country schools to teach young children about their peers with autism and about why they might act and behave in certain ways.
