Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism

Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Julie Tonge:

Transition services are needed at every point. We do not want to have great transition services that do not extend beyond the transition into college and out of college because not every school leaver goes to college. Those transition services are needed throughout the lifespan for autistic people, not just at those key junctures.
