Access to Education for Disabled Children
About Access to Education for Disabled Children
This podcast focuses on the ever growing problems faced by thousands of disabled students across Ireland.
We discuss these issues on this podcast, along with our personal stories, to bring this issue to light and let the public know what's wrong with the Education system in our country.
We hope you learn something from our podcast and that you enjoy it too.
