Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth

Disability Services: Discussion

Ms Cara Steinmetz:

It is a super question. I am thinking back to the point about transitions that was brought up. It starts with the hospital, which is step one. It is about support so that the hospital is on board to talk to us. Down Syndrome Cork, DSC, recently secured a meeting with CUMH to start conversations about how we can better engage with parents in a more consistent way at step one. It certainly starts there.
