The government has unveiled a £1.6 billion plan to improve the lives and opportunities of disabled people in the uk. the national disability strategy aims to tackle issues such as a lack of access to housing, education and employment. but campaigners say it doesn t go far enough as our disability news correspondent, nikki fox, reports. for disabled children like florence, getting the right support and funding from government and local authority is crucial, especially when it comes to specialist education. this family had to spend £15,000 fighting to get the right school for their daughter. 11 year old florence is autistic, epileptic, and has global development delay. we looked at what would be best for florence, and we all came to the conclusion that a school with a specialist provision would be much better suited for her. the family weren t happy with the council s first choice of school because they didn t believe it catered for people with more complex needs, like their daughter.
