Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism
Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Angela Locke-Reilly:
I was actually shocked when I learned about that if you homeschool your child. I started to talk to parents who had taken the option of homeschooling their child because there was no appropriate place available. They were not given extra resources to teach their child at home. They were not offered training. Nothing was made available for them and that was such a shock to me. At first that I thought I had heard it wrong.
