In this raw and emotional episode, I chat with Charlotte Cahill, a Dublin-based parent and disability activist, about her relentless two-year battle to find a school for her daughter with additional needs. After facing rejection from over 60 schools, Charlotte shares her heartbreaking experience with neglect and the extreme steps she’s taken, including taking her fight to the Dáil. This conversation uncovers the urgent need for change and gives voice to families struggling in Ireland’s broken system. It is a must-listen for any parent in the same position or anyone passionate about disability rights.#BeyondTheLabels #DisabilityRights #AssessmentOfNeed #AdvocacyForChildren Hosted by Ciara Watson Produced by Conor Prizeman<hr> Hosted on Acast.
