■Ireland's students with disabilities lack services after graduation


    Nearly 25% of Ireland's students with intellectual disabilities or autism who finished their secondary schooling this year don't have options for continuing their educations or job training. The statistic has advocacy groups pushing for better solutions for a problem they say has been growing for several years. Quality also is an issue, advocates say, noting that the limited services available may not be adequate for the needs of students and their families.
