More training to teach children with severe disabilities

Teachers are to get more training in teaching children with severe learning difficulties, the government has announced.
New teachers who want to work with severely disabled children will get the chance to do a six month specialist course, says Children and Schools Secretary Ed Balls.
The announcement follows a review which calls for more to be done to attract and keep teachers who want to teach disabled children in mainstream and special schools.
Ed Balls said, "All children have potential and we want to support them to take part in school life, to achieve and to be happy throughout their education."
