Schools in certain areas are showing “humungous” reluctance to set up special classes for children with #autism. @involve_d6_d6w on @PatKennyNT #PKNT newstalk.com/news/schools-s…

This thread highlights why families of kids with additional needs feel marginalised in Irish society, thanks to our education system. @josephamadigan @ncseirl @MichealMartinTD @mmcgrathtd @Donnchadhol

Please tell schools again to prioritise kids in special classes for July prov. They’re cutting our hours so they can run camps. It’s an absolute catastrophe for us this year. School after school reducing our kids entitlements

@ncseirl What about the Cork families who require letters of offer for the new special school in carrigaline? Where is the communication. The security ?

It's a human right. These vulnerable children and families are tired. A letter of security surely will not break the administration budget ? They deserve answers. Who is going to listen and put these families out of there misery.@josephamadigan @ncseirl

We are honoured to be chosen by the staff of Boston Scientific in Cork as one of their top 3 chosen charities for 2020-2021! We are so close to securing up to €40,000 through their fundraising intiative but will need the staff votes to succeed. #operationtellourstory @bostonsci

A letter of security gives reassurance. @ncseirl Without this parents are tormented with worry. We are in a pandemic. People are already suffering mentally. Add in no official reassurance your child with complex needs may not have a secondary school place in 12 weeks time.

5 weeks has past since this announcement following parents cry for help in Cork. No official applications or security of a place has being issued to these affected families. Have the affected families not gone through enough ? Enough is enough.

Late payment every year is a disincentive for staff taking part in Summer Provision. The Minister knows that staff will put up with this poor treatment because they care deeply about their students & want to support them. It is unfair, staff need clarity on when they will be paid

39 out of 124 special schools have told parents they WILL NOT offer the summer programme this year for children with autism and intellectual disabilities. Others are ‘waiting for guidelines’.

Home provision for children with complex needs won’t work. We said before parents can’t find tutors for children with more complex needs. It must be in-school. Schools must open their doors - cannot use their power anymore to exclude external educators doing jp on their premises

@WayneOCillAirne Our school is a special school, don’t run it either. So they can double the funding but won’t change anything. Would be far better off to double the wages of the snas and pay everyone the month after it’s done.

The chief executive of the National Council for Special Education has said the Irish education system is not ready for ‘full inclusion’ which would see all children attend mainstream schools regardless of their level of disability, reports @Jessjcasey irishexaminer.com/news/arid-4028…
