The other issue that has been highlighted is what the parents term de facto suspensions, which is being asked repeatedly to pick their child up early from school because of behaviours that, again, are linked with the child’s disability or emotional dysregulation, and that being a source of chronic stress for those families. Is there any focused study being undertaken on this particular issue at the moment, as far as the authority is aware? Has the National Disability Authority considered the need to look at this specifically?
