Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism
Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Lisa Marie Clinton:
I am not sure if reports have been done on the project in Naas but I know the UK has done reports on it. Project SEARCH is based out of Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and that is where it was founded. Multiple different research projects would have done there. We are actually doing research with Michigan State University on the impact of the avail programme and augmenting that as well. That will be completed in early May. However, there is research to demonstrate the outcomes of the programme.
