Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism

Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Angela Locke-Reilly:

Yes, it can work if it is resourced properly. Additionally, a major aspect we must think about is the buy-in. In any system, whether it is in education, health services or disability supports, it is necessary to examine strong leadership and building capacity for our leaders. That buy-in must be achieved so that the people involved are passionate about and driving the model.
