Submission 48 — Name Withheld — Inquiry into support for autistic children and young people in schools

I honestly don’t think anything can be done to accommodate my child in school

because she needs total freedom. She’s tried alternative education programs and

home is the only place for her.

There needs to be funding given to families like ours (in place of Commonwealth

and State funding that goes to schools, as well as the EA funding allocation).

The financial burden on our family to support our child’s needs has been very

challenging.
