Mother in desperate fight to secure suitable school place for autistic son
Charlie Gould and his mother, Katie, in Ballincollig, Cork. They have appealed to the education minister to find a site for Ballincollig’s new secondary school so that it can provide the town’s first second-level ASD unit for students with autism.
A mum who has seen how an autism unit changed her son's life has pleaded with the Taoiseach to solve her town’s school site crisis to ensure that her child and others like him get school places in their own town next September.
Katie Gould is desperately trying to secure a suitable second level school place for Charlie, 12, in Ballincollig, Cork, which despite its size, has no dedicated autism classes in its two large secondary schools.
