flag The Disability Royal Commission's final report revives the debate on education for disabled children, advocating for maintaining specialized schools alongside inclusion.

flag Following the release of the Disability Royal Commission's final report, the debate over the education of children with disabilities has resurfaced, with no one-size-fits-all approach found suitable for all. flag Sally Foy, a mother of a profoundly disabled child, shares her personal experience with her son's specialized school for specific purposes (SSP), highlighting its importance in meeting his ever-evolving needs and ensuring his safety. flag Although she supports the idea of inclusion, Foy emphasizes the need for maintaining SSP schools as an option for children with disabilities who require specialized care and support. flag She suggests that there could be more interaction between SSP and mainstream schools, but removing the option of SSP schools altogether would be devastating for some children and their families who depend on these specialized institutions for safety and support.
