West Cork school to keep its early intervention autism unit 

U-turn by National Council for Special Education

Having reviewed the matter, the National Council for Special Education has now given approval to the school for the retention of the class for 2022/2023.

A West Cork school is to keep its pre-school early intervention autism unit after plans to scrap the support were dropped.

Campaigners, politicians, and parents had feared the closure of an early intervention class in Kilbrittain National School would be the "first casualty" of a phased countrywide policy change.
