Parents urged to join postcard protest over ABA schools

PARENTS of children with autism are being encouraged to join a postcard campaign to protest plans to transform the country’s 13 ABA schools for children with autism into special schools using a range of different teaching methods.

Tish Durkin, who is a mother of a child with autism, has ordered some 10,000 postcards in the shape of a stop sign.

Her plan is for people from all over the country to send the cards to Education Minister Mary Coughlan with duplicates going to the senders’ local TDs.
