'Forgotten by the system': Children with dual diagnosis left in limbo for Cork secondary school place 

Kayla Henebry, 11, who has autism and a moderate intellectual disability, has not received a place in either of the two special schools she could attend.

Children with a dual diagnosis of autism and an intellectual disability are being offered home tuition for September as they have no secondary school place in Cork.

Families who spoke to the Irish Examiner say their children have been left without an appropriate secondary school place in a special school as the limited number of schools are oversubscribed, and waiting-lists have been closed.
