The Case of Speech and Language Therapy – Inclusion Ireland
Conroy, Pauline; Noone, Simon
This short background paper prepared by and with Inclusion Ireland, offers a critical overview of the change process for services for children with disabilities through the microscope of one service: speech and language therapy.
Founded in 1961, Inclusion Ireland is the national organisation
for persons with an intellectual disability. However in developing the paper, special and additional account was taken of the views of Down Syndrome Ireland and Irish Autism Action who, like Inclusion Ireland, have broad national membership through county branch networks.
The three organisations are concerned about therapies for children with intellectual disabilities or difficulties in learning through conventional approaches. The three organisations find themselves at one on many contemporary policy subjects.

St Michael's House.
The growth of St. Michael 's House continues. In
Ballymun, a new Child Development and Assessment
Clinic and Training Centre, have been
opened. In Templeogue, a new adult special care
unit has been opened in Cheeverstown House,
and a new Group Home at Raheny.
The Association looks after more than seven
hundred mentally handicapped persons on a daily
basis and through its clinics makes over three
thousand patient contacts annually.
The needs of our mentally handicapped call for
continued and greater effort. That effort must
be directed towards ensuring that, when their
disabilities permit it, our handicapped children
and adults remain in the community. This means more group homes, workshops and care
units. And so, St. Michael 's House calls for the continued help of its dedicated staff, members
and friends, to assist in providing the services to which our handicapped are entitled.

COPE Foundation.
There is a great atmosphere of enthusiasm and activity
at the Therapy Swimming Pool
since its official opening a few
months ago. It is fair to say that
the overall decor lends itself to all
of this with the viewing room and
changing rooms all beautifully
equipped, adding to the ambience.
For persons with a severe handicap
the pool has provided a new
lease of Iife because the temperatures
allow more relaxation making
treatment more comfortable.

As an innovation to the Annual Report format into the
future, the 2003 Report includes a Statement from
our Chief Executive, Maura Nash. That Statement will
deal with the initiatives, challenges and opportunities
taken up by the Executive during the year, leaving it to
me to report on events from the perspective of the
Board.
Formation of policy is the primary responsibility of the
Board of COPE Foundation. The workings and proposals
emanating from the various
Committees, which have been reorganised
in recent years to sharpen
focus, are crucial to that task.
So too are the representations
of the Executive through Chief
Executive, Maura Nash, as well as
taking into account the considered
opinions of individual Board members
based on their business,
professional and, indeed, direct
experience of intellectual disability.
Through this process we have
developed strategic plans to deliver
quality person-centred services.

The crisis of unemployment: a report on the crisis of unemployment for the school leaver with a mild mental handicap.
National Association for the Mentally Handicapped of Ireland (NAMHI), Working Committee
In recent years, considerable concern has been expressed by
parents, teachers and practitioners in the fields of training and
employment, at the diminishing number of school-Ieavers with a
mild mental handicap who are gaining access to the current labour
market. The impact of· the economic recession and the
technological revolution are some of the reasons put forward for
this downward trend. A special effort by all concerned is necessary
if this trend is to be reversed. I am very pleased to have acted as
Chairman of the Committee which was formed to examine the
situation and produce this report. The interest and co-operation we
received from the relevant organisations and agencies is most
appreciated and is encouraging for the future job prospects of the
school-Ieaver with a mild mental handicap. I am confident that this
report will stimulate much discussion and hopeful that many of the
recommendations will be implemented as a matter of urgency .

In the early stages of exploring the subject, the
Task Force consulted a wide variety of people, so
as to elicit their views - people with mental
handicap, families, frontline staff, service providers
and professional groups. Their responses
were invaluable and much of the report is based
on their contributions.
