Hi SBN. I have worked in one capacity or another with kids with special needs for 8 years. In my experience and from talking to carers etc, the care they get in facilities is great once they are in place. It is the funding arrangements where the issue is.

i agree with you there as my son is now in an independant living house with 4 lads ,they arrange activities that dont cost too much as they dont always have the funds .there is a inhouse club that they all go to ,they play football and bowls which they all love.
Plans for an All-Ireland autism center being dropped because of the recession. Yet we have money to pay for the wages in the Seanad, limousine transport........banana republic.

i dont think they do as lot of places dont have the funding .
at least in special needs schools they pick up on the problems the kids may have which is more than i can say about mainstream schools .as my youngest who just did his leaving was diagnosed with dysleixia two weeks before his exams/
