Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism
Autism Policy (Resumed): Discussion.
Ms Tara O'Donnell-Killen:
The social model of disability says that the challenge is the way in which we have created society. People are in fact disabled but it is not that they are disabled by something inherently inside of them, they are disabled by the barriers which society has constructed for anybody who is not one particular type of person.
