Mother welcomes reversal of decision to cancel autism class

Special class at Douglas Rochestown Educate Together school to be opened as planned

Cillín O'Sullivan can now look forward to starting in the class at Douglas Rochestown Educate Together National School.

A mother who this week highlighted moves to cancel her son’s autism class in Cork is now “reasonably confident” that the class will open as planned.

Elbha O’Sullivan spoke to the Irish Examiner after she learned that special classes for autism at Douglas Rochestown Educate Together National School were not opening as planned in February.
