‘Warriors’ claim resources for autistic children being abused

Members of a 10,000-strong Facebook group seeking more resources for their autistic children has called on the Government to address concerns over what it claims are “abuses of children with additional educational needs within the education system”.

The DCA Warriors, so named because of their efforts at securing the Domiciliary Care Allowance (DCA) for their children, has also called for an ombudsman for education to be created to address their claims.

The group is also teaming up with a Dublin law firm to hold a conference on these issues this weekend.
