Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism

Autism Policy and Education: Discussion

Mr. John Kearney:

It would be very useful if I provided details on continuing professional development supports for staff. In this current academic year, we have engaged with more than 5,000 teachers on various continuing professional development initiatives. We have delivered more than 8,300 professional learning days. We have delivered more than 250 external programmes and we have conducted close to 200,000 in-school visits as our contribution to the change initiative required.
