Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Youth
Education for Children with Special Educational Needs: Discussion
2:00 am
Ms Charlotte Cahill:
As a parent, I know my child better than anybody. I know that girl inside and out. I know her needs. People should listen to me when I tell them she does not like something or that a certain way of teaching her does not work for her. I know her profile. I have been dealing with my daughter since the day she came out of my body, so people should please listen to me. That is the most important thing I would say to any educator or person giving therapy or anything like that. People should listen to me, as her mother and advocate.
