The Hard Shoulder Highlights

"I will not rest until my son is back in school!"

As the INTO and Forsa continue to meet with their respective executives in order to decide their positions on bringing special needs education back on Thursday, parent and advocate Lorraine Dempsey joined Kieran on Tuesday's edition of The Hard Shoulder to explain why interest groups need to start thinking outside the box. Linda is also the mother of a son with special needs, and shared about her struggles for her son.  She got emotional as she told Kieran how hard she's trying to fight for her son, and how she's 'fuming' at how those with special needs, and their families, have been treated.
