A Scots mum says her autistic son is being "ostracised" from his peers because council education bosses are unable to accommodate his complex additional support needs.
The young son of Hailey Paolozzi, 29, from Broomhouse, Edinburgh, was diagnosed with autism at the age of four after being given extra support in nursery. But Edinburgh Live reports that the child, who started school aged five, is currently not taught alongside his peers, instead forced to live out his school days alongside two pupil support assistants, with no formal teacher.
Hailey pleaded with Edinburgh City Council education bosses to transfer her lad to a specialist school so he can get the support and access to education he deserves. However, the authority refused the request in a move that baffled and flattened the family.
