Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism

Autism Policy and Education: Discussion

Ms Mary McGrath:

I am sorry. I do not have that information with me today.

In relation to the OT equipment that the Deputy mentioned, the NCSE does not have a role in providing that type of equipment to schools. It is through the HSE services that schools should apply. It is unfortunate that there continues to be that confusion. Certainly, it is something that we can take away. We can reflect on how we can support schools in clarifying what our role is. That is something we have been doing with various partners over the past while but we can take that away.
