Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism
Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Julie Tonge:
To comment on the financial side, including various grants, when we are talking about universal design one of the key points is flexibility. There is not much flexibility in those systems. Sometimes the rules and regulations are applied in a very hard way and they do not have capacity to look at individual circumstances. That ability would certainly help.
