Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism
Autism Policy in Education: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Hugo MacNeill:
We think that is the real prize. There are a number of institutions and some have ceased their programmes. It is not because they did not put in the work but maybe because they were dependent on a key individual or did not have funding and moved on. If there was a map of this, we would see huge gaps at the moment. That is why we are so excited. This is a model that works and is cost-effective and transformational. We would love to work on this and have a map that covered all the country but that is not really there at the moment.
