The Spencer Park Early Intervention Program provides invaluable educational services for children with special needs, enabling them to develop essential skills in a supportive environment. However, a significant barrier remains: children in this program are currently only provided access to the education support bus for their first year. This limitation impacts their continuity of learning and places an undue burden on families.

Access to reliable transportation is crucial for consistent attendance and participation in early intervention programs. For many families, transportation challenges can lead to sporadic attendance, leaving children without the full benefit of these critical educational services. By extending bus access for the full duration of the two-year program, we ensure children receive the intended comprehensive support.

Statistics indicate that children regularly attending early intervention programs show notable improvements in communication, social skills, and overall development. 

For families  utalising the spencer park education support centres early intervention program. Their current one-year transportation provision often results in increased financial and logistical difficulties, necessitating alternative arrangements that may not be feasible for all. This can lead to decreased participation and hinder a child's progress and development.

We urge the transportation services to revise this policy and extend access to the education support bus throughout the full two years of the program. Such a change would demonstrate a commitment to educational equity and support for children with special needs.
