Crowds gathered in Belfast on Wednesday morning to show support those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities
.
Speaking to Belfast Live, Piarais McCaffery said: "Over 100 people gathered today in support of Kids Together Belfast and Sólás who are asking the EA to make adjustments for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities in relation to youth provision. We met and marched down to EA, chanting and singing 'enough is enough' and 'we matter too'."With support of local politicians from Sinn Féin and People Before Profit we gathered and got our message across.
The petition handed into the EA today read: "We, at Kids Together Belfast and Sólás, are petitioning on behalf of young people with Disabilities all across Northern Ireland. As organisations that supports children and young adults with disabilities we are quite concerned about the lack of resources and support available out there for individuals with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities under the new funding announcements made by the Education Authority.
"Whilst the other specifications that exist do not limit or prevent organisations that work with or support children and young people with SEND from applying, they do however have barriers that will prevent organisations that support young people with SEND from applying or accessing the full fund."
