Pippa Heylings

Liberal Democrat — South Cambridgeshire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 December 2024

Debate

SEND Provision: Autism and ADHD

Contribution

Absolutely; I am here to pay tribute, as is everybody, to what teachers are doing, both with regard to the failure of the previous Government and with the current situation. Let us get to what is happening with the current Government. Every child deserves access to education to get the best start in life and build a strong foundation that can provide valuable skills that allow them to thrive. That is not the case for all children across the country and particularly not for those with autism spectrum disorder and ADHD. Every professional I have spoken to agrees that early diagnosis and support are essential.
