Emma Dalmayne, who runs a group called Autistic Inclusive Meets, said trying to secure an EHCP is not an easy option for families.
She said: “The remarks from the two members were not only incredibly ignorant, they were also disgustingly presumptuous and ableist.
“Parents have to fight for everything for their disabled children. It’s certainly not handed to us on a plate as it was insinuated.
“For our children to be given basic accommodations to enable them to access an education we need an EHCP, we need transport and we need accommodations to be made. These things are not luxuries they are necessities.”
