Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism

Autism Policy in Education: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Mary Rose Sweeney:

It is not sufficient. We are trying to tap into that but it would not be enough to meet the needs of all of the universities currently.

I wish to make a comment on how we grow the overall framework at DCU. The engagement so far has been organic in that people who are interested in that area reached out to us with organisations such as AsIAm. We have done good work with it to support it to get up and running. It would be nice to see a more coherent, strategic or systematic approach to all of the higher education institutions, HEIs, in embedding this type of an approach. If the committee could think about how that might happen it would be good.
