I fully agree with these points and they are very important. Guidance counsellors have certain skills but they definitely need upskilling in this area. They need more information and support in respect of how they can assist students with various forms of disability. We are in a time of full employment and one of the big issues we come across is employers contacting us to say they cannot get workers. We have a talent pool of people with disabilities who could quite easily work with supports and more information. The point made earlier about a national information campaign was well made. Perhaps it is something that Rehab could drive or lead on. It has been good at doing so in the past.
