Dr. Fiona McCaffrey:

I thank the Senator for the question. We are indeed uniquely placed. We work in education on both sides of the Border and that gives us a unique viewpoint. There is really good practice on both sides of the Border and we have really committed professionals working on both sides of the Border, but there are also difficulties on both sides as well. One of the things the centre does is work within schools to build capacity. We work within schools and within school communities to increase understanding of neuro-affirming practices and autism-affirming practices. Our focus is very much on building capacity to improve services and improve educational access for autistic children. There are differences and, as Mr. Douthart, said it would be difficult to say one or the other, but certainly there is also really good practice as well and we work within schools to continue to improve practice. I will pass over to Ms McCanney.
