The new programme was presented to the public on September 26
More than 500 people turned out for an event organised by specialist education students, which outlines the priorities West Northamptonshire Council need to tackle, but some critics have labelled it a "PR strategy".
He said: "What if I told you I have ADHD, autism, a terrible memory, and I’m diabetic? But I’ve been able to start doing work experience and I even helped to set up and manage this event. That’s why we put so much dedication into this kind of thing - I think that more people should actually believe in what disabled people can do.
The council has received positive reviews from people who attended the event, calling the day "informative" and praising the "inclusive" atmosphere. Currently, the demand for SEND places and provisions in West Northamptonshire is on the rise, but the council is struggling to keep up. In the first quarter of this year, West Northants Council received 284 requests for Education and Health Care Plans - a document which describes a young person’s special educational needs.
