Hi
Anyone have experience of this? Specifically, child with brain injury looking for exemption for study of irish in sec school that doesnt meet criteria of having a physical, sensory disability or general learning disability.
For anyone out there that has a relative with severe brain injury and none of the above, you will be familiar with the effects, and how frustrating they are.
My kid, just been turned down, even with personal representation to minister by brain injury proffesionals! All thought she would qualify, so has not been doing irish for at least 16 months in school. Now has notification of refusal, so is instructed to do irish (therefore, jn cert exam, technically!) with less than 5 wks to go. What a mess! Talk about messing about a kids education. If I go on joe duffy show about this, would it really be only "entertainment" value for folk? I NEED to get this exemption to keep my kid in school!
thanks.
