20 schools refuse to enrol autistic boy

THE mother of a nine-year-old autistic boy turned away by more than 20 schools has had to borrow money to pay for the home tuition being provided by the Government.

Casey Naughton was expelled from a local primary school last February because of problematic behaviour associated with his Asperger Syndrome illness.

But his frustrated mum, Lisa Naughton, has gone to great lengths to have him enrolled elsewhere, only to be refused at every door she knocks on.
