Welsh Critics Blast Authorities for Failing Children With Special Educational Needs
More than 200 children with special needs are not educated at school or in specialist units, according to Welsh Assembly Government statistics.
Many are being home-educated because of parental choice or because this has been deemed the best option by experts.
However, a minority are left in limbo, spending their days at home because a school place cannot be found for them or because the council will not pay for full-time support for these children to attend school, writes Moira Sharkey in Western Mail.
Some local council authorities pleaded helpless in the absence of necessary financial resources.
Thomas Pepper goes to school for just one hour each day because the council will not pay for him to be supervised full-time.
Teenager Sara Abdul- Hamid, who has been excluded from mainstream education because of her behavioural problems, is now starting her third week at home as the council tries to find her a specialist school place.
Shane Tomlinson gets just five hours of tutoring each week while the council says it is seeking a place for him in a specialist school.
Their parents all believe their children have been failed by the education system, which is dogged by delays in ensuring their childrens special needs were diagnosed.
