Govt pledges learning support coordinators across school system

From Morning Report, 7:15 am on 5 November 2018

A mother whose disabled son was turned away from the local school because it said it couldn't cope with his disability is hoping 600 new specialist learning support coordinators will stop this from happening to anyone else. The government has announced it will fully fund the positions from 2020, with the promise the 600 will double if the budget allows. Parents and disability advocates say it can't happen soon enough.
