So when the federal government reduced the funding, the state government decided to remove that part of the program. My understanding is they will progressively keep cutting it back until it is scrapped completely.<br /><br />Feel free to rant away. I don't think enough of us are ranting loud enough. :)<br /><br />Your grandson and daughter are lucky to have such a caring G'ma. xxxConnorsMumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08758877039257166436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5675244994657808315.post-42606243957868519922013-04-25T20:47:09.725+10:002013-04-25T20:47:09.725+10:00Hi,Connors mum, what an amazing mother you are. G&...Hi,Connors mum, what an amazing mother you are. G'ma here, I wrote earlier re my grandson & how my daughter has had her life & plans for her little boy turned upside down due to this decision. I simply cannot get my head around this decision. Who on earth came up with it? We cannot find a thing on any ed qld site in regards to this change. It's so heartless, and I somehow was silly enough to think our country and the great state of qld came out of the dark ages in regards to special needs children decades ago. Have you been given any reason apart from funding as to why they would do this to our children. It can't just be money, qld is spending 13 million on a water pipeline that's never been used! They simply cannot justify funding as the reason when they can spend money like that. My grandson has autism. He is a very bright and loveable little boy. He will be able to go to school full time hopefully by yr 1 but will need support, I imagine he always will in some form, can't these people see by taking away this critical year from them that they place them even further behind nt children and makes it harder for teachers,aides and support workers who will have them full time. Oh dear, I'm having a rant to one who knows, maybe we could talk to ACA or other news programs about it, it all seems so 'hush hush' I'm sure there would be outrage if the wider community knew and understood what is happening to our little ones. Bless youydear, keep fighting, we will too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
