Parents now "less tolerant of disabled children in same class" (Independent, 20/1/2012)
MORE than one in five people say they would object if a pupil with an intellectual disability or autism was in the same class as their child.
The disturbing statistic marks a growing level of intolerance of these children in the education system.
Just one in 12 said they would object when a similar study was carried out in 2006.
The findings of the survey of attitudes to people with a disability, released yesterday, also reveal almost one in four would not want a pupil with a mental health problem -- like psychiatric illnesses -- in the same class as their child, up from 21pc in 2006.
Just 48pc believe that children with sensory impairments such as deafness should attend the same schools as people with disabilities, down from 58pc in 2006.
Autism Initiatives would like to invite Teens and Pre-teens with Autism to join us for fun activities and adventures including sports events, day trips and arts and crafts.
Participants will be supported on a 1:1 basis.
Events will take place from 10.30 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Monaghan Harps Complex on following days:
1st & 15th October 2011,
1st & 2nd of November 2011

Gardai are believed to have initiated an investigation into the reported theft of thousands of euro from a fund set up to manage the day-to-day spending of clients of the Cregg House facility for people with intellectual disability. There are currently approximately 200 special needs children and adults dependent on the service provided at the Ballincar premises.
IN YET another blow to parents of special needs children, The Mayo News has learned that St Brid’s Special School in Castlebar may lose three of its 13 Special Needs Assistants (SNAs) in June next. St Brid’s caters for almost 25 children with severe, profound and moderate learning difficulties, as well as children with autism, all of whom require care on an almost continual basis.
