Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism

Autism Policy and Assistive Technology: Ms Carmel Ryan and Mr. Fiacre Ryan

Ms Carmel Ryan:

It depends. Most of the information I have would come from the United States. Each state would have its own education board, however. Therefore, some education boards will accept it. I think quite a lot of schools and universities in California are using it and have accepted it. Other states may not. It is pretty similar in England where there are different districts. Some districts would approve and support it and others would wait to see how it works in another situation.
