I agree with Mr. Hunt. It is a form of segregation really. That is what is happening but the point I am trying to make is that the supports are not there to ensure the system is inclusive. There has to be a change in direction to ensure the system is inclusive. More supports have to be put into mainstream schools so that children can attend their local primary school and get the support and the appropriate education that they need.
