What the petition asks
Many councils up and down the country are talking about taking away special needs schools from children with e h c p and sending them back into mainstream schools, this might not be the right option for these children.
Children with autism and sensory processing disorder may suffer with high levels of anxiety, which might be an issue in large class rooms, with crowds or shouting. They, and children with serious disabilities, should have the option of a specialist school, which is why they were set up.
