Support for school project aimed at bridging therapies for autistic children dropped

Ros Na Réaltóg launched a project to create a ‘hub' of different early intervention supports and play therapy for children.

A preschool that launched a pilot project aiming to create a ‘bridge’ of early intervention therapies for autistic children has seen official support for the project dropped.

Ros Na Réaltóg, a forest preschool in Castlebar, County Mayo, launched the ARK project in September, which proposes to create a ‘hub' of different early intervention supports and play therapy for children alongside its early years centre. The school currently has 30 students attending.
