Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 December 2012
208. Deputy Jonathan O'Brien asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will provide copies of the minutes of meetings held between is Department and professional bodies representing behaviour analysts over the past decade, as his Department researched and devised its policy on the education of children with autism. [56442/12]
View answerI am assuming that the Deputy is referring to the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI) which is a professional body with a division of behaviour analysis. I can inform the Deputy that there is no record in my Department of a formal bilateral meeting during the period in question with the PSI on applied behaviour analysis or indeed of a request from the professional body for such a meeting.
