Parents hit out at HSE plans for special schools

Children with special learning needs will suffer if the HSE introduces changes to how therapy services are delivered.

That is the warning from the parents of children attending 11 special schools across Cork.

They met at Our Lady of Good Counsel school in Ballincollig last night to discuss the HSE’s plans to reconfigure therapy resources such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physiotherapy into geographic-based teams.
