Their own figures support a long view approach yet the LAs on the ground are being squeezed and or taking a adversarial approach to parents trying to give their children lifelong independence skills. Thank you for a succinct illustration Tania and Debby. Hannah x

This was great to read – proves that investment in the early years not only saves money but improves quality of life for those with special needs. A great summary of fact that should steer educators in the right direction
