Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

Rights-Based Behaviour Analysis and Support: Discussion

Ms Amy O'Keefe:

Personally, it suits me better because I love to get the full scope of the little person I am supporting, and to be aware of his or her family's dynamic. We talk about the environmental impact because that can cause uncomfortable situations, and especially for autistic preschoolers. I like to observe the household, what happens in the family, how environmental structures are responded to, and how I can best help everyone in the family and that environment to structure their environment to best suit my little pupil. I best suit home tuition, particularly as I am an autistic person and it can be intimidating to work with a really large team. Yes, I am best suited to providing home tuition.
