Letter: On the right track
As the founder of a charity which provides help and support for parents and children with learning difficulties, plus having a daughter with a mild mental handicap, any advancements in the learning difficulties field is greatly welcome.
Too often young people with learning difficulties tend to feel isolated and unsupported, especially if they attend a mainstream school where their friends may not struggle with autism, ADHD or other neuro-developmental disorders. In addition, they may have to rely on parents or a school minibus to take them to and from school which could make them feel even more isolated.
