'The campaign will be continuing to push this issue of much needed legislation for Post-19 school leavers with special educational needs.'

Campaigners calling for new legislation to protect post-19 special educational needs pupils are taking their campaign on the road next month.

Mums like Alma, a qualified classroom assistant, say young adults with a dual diagnosis of autism and learning disabilities are being denied legal protection and statutory services once they leave school and treated as if they are invisible. Alma has also launched the Caleb's Cause NI page on Facebook and an online petition, which has gathered thousands of signatures, to help create new legislation for Post-19 SEN Northern Ireland, which she says would make a massive difference to the lives of so many young adults with a disability.
