I have listened to what was discussed here. What does the Teaching Council believe could be done to facilitate students in the July provision and in schools? Ms Fox referred to the seven programmes, one of which is inclusive education. Ms Fox stated that all 116,000 teachers can teach an autistic child with special needs. Is that the case?
