Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism

Autism Policy and Employment: Discussion

Mr. Peter Brabazon:

It does not come up very often. As the Deputy said, it involves no or low cost items. One girl had a pressure pad thing that you put around yourself and there was funding for it. I think the administration just basically got in the way and we helped. That was the problem. The willingness was very much there. It was done through the local Intreo office in Tallaght. Generally though, that Intreo office is really good to us but this just got lost in the wind in a way. We got it in the end.
