Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism

Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Julie Tonge:

I might comment on the timeline. I hear what the Deputy is saying about the two-year lead-in. We sometimes see students who go into further education and then transition to higher education. That can beneficial because they build up a lot of the skills in a slightly smaller, more supportive environment. That can be helpful.
