ABC.net—the Australian Broadcasting Corporation—reported that local politicians are discussing the need for additional specialists to help students with Learning Disabilities.
The Opposition’s education spokeswoman, Sue Napier, is calling on the State Government to fund more specialist staff to help school students with learning disabilities.
Ms Napier says a lack of specialists such as speech pathologists in schools means many children with disabilities such as dyslexia are failing to achieve basic literacy.
She says more than 10% of Tasmanian children suffer from some form of learning disability.
