It is seems to be low cost. I have probably been sold on that to a degree and have seen examples of assistive technologies that make complete sense here for those with autism or for those with disabilities and even in some cases for those who do not fall under those brackets but just to make life and work just far more effective for all involved. As Mr. Brabazon says, he will be dealing with staff in the Department of Social Protection that will want to be able to facilitate him but there is a problem in how the system is structured at present. It is something that probably needs to be lined up before somebody ends up in employment and then you are applying for something that was technically needed beforehand.
