We are part of that stat. 7 page appeal letter being sent today after refusal for specialist intervention - how many don’t have the patience, resources, energy to appeal and fight for a basic right to access meaningful education and an excellent education at that @josephamadigan
45% of children with support needs are being failed by the educational system as they face multiple barriers to access their right to school. We expect our leaders to stand up and prioritise this with urgency - we are deeply disturbed by the Department of Education's

Everything Lyndsey says here - not to mention the door that never gets knocked on or the play dates that never happen….
Most often it’s ‘neurodivergent’ or children with ‘additional needs that are excluded’ from parties - it’s what we know, feel, & hurt from as parents. We have to do better & I’m talking about parents not children. This is detrimental to our children but also yours #NiceToBeAsked

I was so happy today, to see that one of the @FindingCharlie communication boards I ordered when I was at @dedridgeps is now up in the playground. This will support so many learners with their communication. #Inclusion #CommunicationAid

Let’s get behind this. Communication is a basic human right.

Will this include appropriate access to content within education and wrap around support so ensure all children are given their basic human right to an exceptional education? #promises #actionspeakslouder #letsdobetter #wearenotthereyet @josephamadigan
Looking forward to meeting with Minister for Public Expenditure @Paschald this afternoon for Budget 24 bilateral negotiations. I'll be advocating for children with special educational needs and seeking to build on the benefits secured for them under Budget 23.
