I agree with you totally, with red tape. My son was dignosed with Dyslexia 3 years ago at primary, he then moved the secondery and it as just come to light that his iep as not been followed.Senco have said they didnt get his report from primary and then spoke to head of key stage 3 and she phoned me 2 days later and said they did get it. Then the head came to my nhouse and said she didnt say it. I then filed a formal complaint to the board.3 months got no reply. My son as since had ld diagnoses.

Can the government afford to have school age children with Autism/Aspergers, in the system now, on disability pensions in coming years? I have a 17 year old son with Aspergers (Autism Spectrum) who has a good chance of ending up on disability benefits at the end of Year 12, this year.
Had there been more support for him within the school system he would have been more than capable of working full time.
Peter Garrett talk to parents and work it out now.

I have 4 children, 3 with disabilities. Our biggest concern is for our 12 year old, he has autism and a intellectual disability, the education system is so ill equipt to deal with him that he now suffers from anxiety & depression, insomnia, panic attacks & worst of all PTSD no child should get PTSD from school attendance We have no-one to turn to for help because they don't listen & now he is only allowed to attend school 1hr & 40 minutes a day that's not an education & I'm NOT allowed teach him

I have a son with a disgnosis of ASD. We have had to fight for every cent of funding that he has received for his education. at one point he was attending school for 45 minutes per day and this time was spent in the principles office as his classroom teacher refused to have him in the room as she believed he was just avery naughty boy and that I was a bad mother. Not only did she express this very uninformed opinion to me and the school staff but also to other parents.

I too have a son with ASD in mainstream primary school(with one SEU aide in class all day for 5 kids!) Am very happy with all his teachers and their willingness to help, but know that next year and those following will be a test for my son for there is no guarantee of continuity....We and our precious kids have to deal with adversity everyday, and what WILL help them in the future is a good appropriate and SUPPORTED education. All kids deserve that.

I have an Aspergers son who attends a school with a Special Education unit, YET his 'funding' goes toward the running of the unit but he doesnt spend his day there to benefit, he is in the mainstream class & gets NO teacher aide time to help him in that mainstream class. Funding should provide an Aide assigned specifically to the child to go with them no matter what class they are in, what school they go to, whether state school or private & they must have training in Autism Spectrum Disorders.

My son is very similar, in that he has ASD, ADHD and severe multi-sensory problems meaning he is unable to cope in his mainstream school, even with one-on-one aide time; at this time, I am trying to get him into the local specialist school, but am unsure if I will succeed as the cut off cognitive score for the school is 70, and my son acheived a full scale score of 78. The government removed the specialized classes from victorian schools several years ago causing major trouble for our children.

It is essential that ALL children are given the opportunity to learn and to receive an appropriate education. Sadly this is not currently happening for children with disabilities & special needs. if this situation is not rectified, these children will be destined for a life on welfare when they have so much to offer our beautiful country if given the chance. Please invest in our wonderful children and deliver more funding and meaningful policy on education. Let our children reach their potential

I support this petition. I have a son who is nearly seven years old. He has Asperger's and sensory processing disorder. He struggles in the school environment and as a direct result of a lack of funding/support he attends school part time only. This impacts on his learning (education and social learning) and restricts my ability to work. It is time for the education system to stop these kids falling through the cracks. They deserve an education just the same as any other children.

We are having the same problems getting help within a school for my son. He has Autism, Anxiety disorder and a language disorder.He goes to high school next year and there is not a position open in any special needs unit in the Maitland NSW area. The government needs to ope now units to accomodate these kids not just throw them into mainstream to only be bullied and made fun of and to end up being expelled because they are misunderstood and taught wrong. Help us please.

I have two children on the autism spectrum. I am tired of them being constantly discriminated against. We need to be able to send our children to school knowing they will be safe. We need schools specifically aimed at catering for children on the autism spectrum. Our children have the same right to an education that everyone else has. Please help us achieve this. If our children are able to get an education they will be less likely to require disability support pensions as adults.

As a mother of a child with Asperger's syndrome, it saddens me immensely that funding is not sufficient enough to provide our children with a full-time education. I have had to school my child from home due to lack of funding for an aide which has put a stop to my aspirations of furthering my own education and entering the workforce.

I've had to take my 15 yr old out of school and my 17 yr old is now not managing both these kids have an ASD, are visually impaired, deal with mental health issues and other disorders. Not only has the education dept left them down but so has our government, you have discriminated them. Appalling
