Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism
Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Frank Hanlon:
Even without the exact figures, I do not think any of the reviews done by the NCSE on the SNA allocations have resulted in a drop in or a loss of SNAs. There were some that stayed the same, but the majority of the reviews resulted in an increase in SNA allocation. The NCSE is continuing to work on streamline the process for schools and to make it a bit easier. If schools feel that they require additional SNAs, they should definitely contact the NCSE without fear of falling foul.
