Give Them A Voice: Rejected by over 20 different schools

Jennifer Quinn's daughter Eva is 5, and is looking forward to starting school. However, because she has autism and intellectual disabilities, she needs to go to a special school or at least be placed in a special class. But, because there is too few spaces and too many children with additional needs, she has been rejected by over 20 schools. Now, she is facing a fourth year of pre-school. Jennifer got in touch with us as a part of our Give Them A Voice campaign, and we want to hear from you if you have a similar story. You can email the show: [email protected].
