£1.6bn strategy to improve the lives and opportunities of disabled people unveiled by the government
The government says its National Disability Strategy - first announced by the prime minister at the last election - is a once in a generation transformative plan.
Florence's family had to pay £15,000 in legal fees in a battle with their local council to ensure she was sent to a school that met her needs. Florence is now in a school which meets her needs. Mr Karlsen welcomes any extra funding but believes there needs to be a clear process when it comes to making sure disabled children are not shut out of education.
Sense, which campaigns for better lives for deaf and blind people, said it was a "small step" that would not produce concrete actions resulting in lasting improvements. He said: "Many of the short-term commitments made are to be welcomed, but the strategy as a whole falls short of the transformational plan that many disabled people expected and deserve.
