Fiacre Ryan Speechless documentary is on tonite , 11.40 pm on RTE re RPM @mmoynihantd @HMcEntee @1Hildegarde @NormaFoleyTD1 @ncseirl @Education_Ire @NABMSE @OireachtasNews

@MichealMartinTD @HMcEntee don't keep them silent in absolute mental torture.

We need a government with the courage to believe in what their disabled constituents and their families are SHOWING them with RPM and to support these nonverbal children & adults. Don't forget there's a lot of money in speech therapy @SimonHarrisTD @1Hildegarde @mmoynihantd

"Not ideal" @MichealMartinTD is that it? How about saying they are not permitted esp when @Education_Ire don't have any data on suspensions cos it's not collated @mmoynihantd New code of Beh guidelines must ban suspension and expulsion in special Ed asap

My nonverbal son’s words / thoughts just made it into the Oireachtas records via the Disability Committee yesterday. Beyond proud. #RPMWorks @mmoynihantd @Education_Ire @HMcEntee @campaign4carrig @ncseirl @iaslt @AsIAmIreland @comm4allorg

A harrowing but important read which will no doubt impact many SN parents who have met with similar blocks from @OCO_ireland inspectors in @Education_Ire @tusla and @GardaTraffic @gardainfo when attempting to have child protection abuses in special ed investigated
