Frustrated parents rally in Truro, demanding better support for their neurodiverse children
One mom, Jenna Tyack, shared her struggles with her daughter Daisy’s education. Daisy, who has autism and other challenges, was moved to a new school that just didn’t fit her needs. After raising concerns, the school changed its mind, but it left the family feeling stressed.
Other parents echoed Jenna’s frustrations. They believe the education at Cardrew Court School isn’t what they were promised. They want a system that truly meets their kids’ needs, not just what looks good on paper.
Jenna and her friends organized the rally because they felt it was time to take a stand. They want better options for their kids, like the EOTAS packages that worked well before.
Daisy herself expressed her feelings, saying she wants to learn but feels ignored. It’s heartbreaking to hear her say she feels sad and panicked about school.
Another parent, Sarah, shared her story about her daughter Freya. After a tough battle, Freya got an EOTAS package that helped her thrive. But now, the council is pushing her back to a school that doesn’t suit her.
Hayley, another mom, also faced challenges with her daughter Ellise. She feels the school isn’t what they were promised. The lack of proper facilities is a big issue.
The local council responded, saying they’re working on improving support for neurodiverse kids. But many parents feel it’s not enough. They just want their children to have the education they deserve.
