Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Family-Centred Practice and Parent Training Interventions: Discussion (26 Jan 2023)

Pauline Tully: I thank the witnesses for their presentations. I presume the two programmes are similar. I talk to parents all of the time. They contact me, often distressed, because their child is hurting himself or herself, or lashing out at other members of the family. Maybe they are tearing or eating their clothes. They are crying out for help, and they do not know how to help their child or how to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Family-Centred Practice and Parent Training Interventions: Discussion (26 Jan 2023)

Pauline Tully: My first question is on the presentation this morning on family-centred practice and the briefing document the committee received. The content of the document mirrors what members heard from Triple P and Parents Plus. From talking to parents, it appears that many of them are not getting that sort of support. I hear of the CDNTs offering online courses on different issues but I hear from...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Family-Centred Practice and Parent Training Interventions: Discussion (26 Jan 2023)

Pauline Tully: Professor MacLachlan is making the claim that children do not need assessment of need but just need services. How you could decide what service they need without an assessment?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Family-Centred Practice and Parent Training Interventions: Discussion (26 Jan 2023)

Pauline Tully: We know people need a diagnosis to get into special school settings, which is causing significant problems. With Down's syndrome, they do not need a diagnosis. You know roughly what children would probably need but every child is different and would have to be assessed.

I have also linked it to the proposed review of the disabled drivers and disabled passengers scheme because the criteria to apply for a primary...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Disability Services (24 Jan 2023)

Pauline Tully: I thank the Minister. People's rights are being infringed. The State ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, UNCRPD, in 2018 and nearly five years later there is no transport scheme in place for disabled people. The disabled drivers and disabled passengers scheme is extremely limited and only applies to a small number of very disabled people. We...
