Current Question:
	Disabled coaches for use at school
Hi everyone, my daughter is 6 years old and has SMA III. She is in mainstream school and is due to go on a school trip soon. School have said that it is too expensive to get a coach that is set up for her to use a wheelchair. They are proposing to send her down on a minibus with one other pupil. My problem is should they be using a coach that is set up for her regardless of cost? or is there somewhere that can help with the additional cost? I dont want to be the one to tell her that she can't go on the coach with the rest of the children because she needs her wheelchair. Thanks for reading x

My son is 6 with sma2 our school hire a bus from the local depot - its a park and ride bus that they hire out a seat is taken out so his chair can be clamped down and then his friends sit in the seat opposite. Could your school contact the local bus depot?
