Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism

Autism Policy in Education: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Caroline Quinn:

I thank members very much for their attention and for listening to us today. The two parting words from the IPPN are to plead that the admissions issue is looked at and that there would be a longer lead-in that would allow planning.

The second thing we would plead is that there would be a division between how high-incidence resources and low-incidence resources, in other words, children with complex needs, are dealt with in terms of how the allocations are given to schools.
