Parents of children with disabilities are being ordered to attend training courses so they can carry out therapies on their own children who remain on long waiting lists.

With 34,000 children now on community health waiting lists, parents say they have been told that if they do not avail of these courses, their children will be taken off HSE lists for therapies such as speech and language and physiotherapy.
