No fear of going to school with iScoil

JOYCE DOYLE’S son displayed “severe anxiety” which made him physically ill when he began attending secondary school.

At just 13, he was diagnosed with school phobia and doctors prescribed him sedatives to try and calm him down.

“That didn’t work of course,” his mother said. “The attitude was that he should be able to go to school. The system doesn’t understand and if someone is different they are seen as dysfunctional. After a lot of confrontations with doctors and schools I found an alternative for him.”
