Autism charity condemns 'shocking' ASTI advice to postpone meeting students' needs

Autism charity, AsIAm, has condemned the Association of Second Level Teachers of Ireland (ASTI) for its advice to members to refuse to provide Individual Education Plans (IEP) for students with special needs.

The ASTI issued the advice yesterday because it is extremely concerned that there is "insufficient resourcing" and a lack of planning for the Education for Persons with Special Education Needs Act, 2004.
