Parents and carers gathered at St George's Hall to condemn the lack of facilities for children with special educational needs.
A mother forced to homeschool her seven-year-old son because the school he attended could not cope with his additional needs has joined a protest for better provision.
Now that Bohdi is homeschooled, Michelle said her son's anxiety has reduced and he is thriving. However, it means she cannot work as much as she used to. One mum whose son is non-verbal says her son has been "segregated like a prisoner" in his current school because he cannot cope in the classroom. She continued: "There aren't enough spaces in specialist schools. We go through appeals, tribunals and we go through emotional torture just to be told there isn't any place in a school.
