Government criticised for denying students special needs funding

From Morning Report, 8:49 am on 14 July 2021

The Government is copping criticism for denying funding to students with special needs and then blocking parents from paying for it themselves.

A mother who has an eight year old son with ADHD and Autism has been told she can no longer fund his teacher aid, in a move she is calling callous.

She's worried about what it means for other families in a similar situation.

Political reporter Charlie Dreaver has this report.
