Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism
Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed)
2:55 am
Mr. Odhr?n Allen:
We would be strongly supportive of the roll-out of the school inclusion model. We have met with the Department of Education to discuss this matter. We do not think that the HSE is best placed to deliver what children in schools need. It is better to have a dedicated therapy service within the school setting. We would be strongly supportive of the roll-out of school inclusion services for children.
