'It feels like they're second class citizens, like they're being forgotten about'
A Belfast mum has opened up about the stress she's facing trying to find a school nursery place for her special educational needs child.
"He finishes up soon though and because he has no special spot confirmed, all that intervention he's had is just stopping with no plan of what's happening next." "The thing is you can't give loads of school names for a statement to go to to give him a better chance, it doesn't work that way. "Just because he has severe learning difficulties, because he can't cope in a mainstream setting, it feels like they're second class citizens, like they're being forgotten about," she said.
"The EA is working to ensure all children will be placed appropriately as soon as possible and fully understands the importance of keeping parents informed of progress regarding their child’s school placement.
