I am interested in hearing more about reduced timetables and health assessments. As a member of the education committee, I am aware that there are some children who must be on a reduced timetable because it is better for them and their ability to learn and take in information. However, there are too many Traveller children on reduced timetables, unfortunately. Many parents believe their child is on a reduced timetable because he or she is considered bold; it is because of behaviour. I am also interested in hearing more about delays in diagnosing Traveller children who have ADHD and autism.
