Dad of gifted student with special needs appeals for 'invaluable' resource class to stay open

The dad of a gifted student with special needs fears his son's behavioural progress will be destroyed with the axing of an 'invaluable' resource class at his school from September.

Simon Wharmby says his son Jamie (11), who suffers from severe ADHD has become less troubled and more adapted to mainstream schooling since taking part in the special 'Life Skills' room at St Oliver's National School in Navan, Co. Meath.
