Submission Documents: By Councillor Gerry Boyle:- "Children who are affected by Autism are entitled to the same life expectations as everyone else in society. This Council recognises its duty to provide a learning environment where each individual can reach their potential. Council recognises that some children and young people with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have complex additional support needs which can make their experience of education particularly challenging. Council further notes that the Scottish Government has committed to carrying out a review of the national guidance on Presumption of Inclusion, in light of policy and legislative developments, and believes that a similar exercise in Glasgow could be of considerable benefit to children with ASD. Council therefore calls on the Executive Member for Children and Young people, in partnership with parents and health professionals, to review the strategy for supporting children with ASD in Glasgow in order to ensure that they are identified and supported in the most appropriate educational setting for their needs."
