Bright Stars autism support group are making an urgent plea for families affected by autism to get in touch with them, so that they can rally support for their ongoing efforts for a special school for children with autism to be set up in this region.
The Kingscourt-based group currently has five members but they believe there are many more people who would benefit from the Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA) tutoring that they are seeking to have made available in the Cavan area.
