Young sisters 'without a school for months' due to a lack of disabled access

Shelbie Heasley withdrew her daughters Violet and Amelia from their primary school last year due to a lack of accessible facilities for those with disabilities.

Violet uses a wheelchair due to a rare condition called Osteogenesis Imperfecta that causes her bones to fracture very easily and had difficulty accessing parts of the school, particularly the toilet, which was not equipped with the facilities needed for a child in a wheelchair.
