551. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Education and Skills her Department's policy on the education of children with autism, which was due to be made available in Spring 2015, and which was recommended by the Ombudsman for Children to be made available in October 2012; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraThe National Council for Special Education is currently at an advanced stage in the preparation of policy advice on the education of children with autism.
I expect that the NCSE final report, which is due to be delivered shortly, will reflect the broadest possible range of views, both National and International, and will provide recommendations which will assist the development of policy on the education of children with autism for future years.
