- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (31 Jan 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Nobody puts the perfect in place straight away. Is that feedback process happening all the time?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (31 Jan 2023)
Ruairí Ó Murchú: It is a fundamentally brilliant idea. It was missed by many people over many years that there is a need to engage with the people who require changes as to what works and what does not, what makes them feel more comfortable and what makes it easier for them to learn. Alongside the witnesses' own research, incorporating a feedback loop is the perfect way to run anything. They should keep...

Ruairí Ó Murchú: The child-led model makes complete sense and everything emanates from that. We need to put the structure in place and then see what works, what does not and how to improve it. That allows for consistent and constant improvement. Then one integrates whatever else from outside works. The report in relation to autism best practice brings me back to identifying what is a best practice...

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Is co-ordination easier when it is within the school setting?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (31 Jan 2023)
Ruairí Ó Murchú: It is a point that needs to be made though.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (31 Jan 2023)
Ruairí Ó Murchú: I believe I speak for nearly every elected representative in Leinster House in saying that the witnesses have made very convincing arguments about their approach being effective in allowing children to flourish. They have made a fabulous case for what they are offering.

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Would it be two things?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (31 Jan 2023)
Ruairí Ó Murchú: Are there two aspects involved? I imagine that one aspect is behaviours. Would the centre also be dealing with an awful lot of individuals who do not have certain skill sets and who are non-verbal also?

Ruairí Ó Murchú: How long does an assessment take? I get that the centre is always doing assessments.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (31 Jan 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I am not known for my brevity. We are talking about full societal change across the board. As Deputy Tully said, it is about acceptance meeting inclusivity. What the centre has done is based on a brilliant idea and research meeting action, which means improvement in the lives of autistic people and their families and in wider society. I congratulate the witnesses on the work they have...

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Dr. Lopez put a figure of 20% on it.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (31 Jan 2023)
Ruairí Ó Murchú: It is the whole idea of making educational settings more comfortable for these children and ensuring they can flourish, for want of a better term. Does that fit into the whole-school approach? In a perfect world, every child would be dealt with individually and would have a bespoke solution. It might not be possible to do that under a whole-school approach but there are a lot of...

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Logistical difficulties can be huge.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (31 Jan 2023)
Ruairí Ó Murchú: It is where research meets action. Once again, I apologise for taking over the entire meeting. However, I lack credibility in relation to that apology. Regarding the children who use the service, do they have very high needs or medium to high needs? I am never quite sure how these labels are determined.
