Ms Fiona Earley:

The guidance is the research on the eight principles of an autism-friendly university and it is run through AsIAm and DCU. In the past two years, other colleges and universities have joined the network to become autism friendly, which means referring to these principles as their benchmark of good practice. For example, Dundalk IT, Sligo TU, and the Royal College of Surgeons have joined the network, which means they are also referring to the research principles of what makes a university or a higher education institution autism friendly.
