Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism
Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Rosemary Steen:
It is important also to recognise that, at times, it may be that the child’s behaviour is appropriate to what is happening to that child in the environment. At times, the board will hear anonymised reports on the different interventions happening. It will actually be something outside of the child that needs to be addressed by the centre. It is important, in regard to the neurodiverse approach that the centre takes, that it is not always to do with the behaviour of the child. It is sometimes to do with the behaviour the child is experiencing and we have to be cognisant of that.
