The Association of Parents of Hearing Impaired Children of Calvados (APEDAC) denounces the lack of appropriate support for children from National Education, despite a legal decision. Families are sounding the alarm.
APEDAC is not losing its temper. This Calvados association criticizes a lack of support for hearing impaired children on the part of National Education, particularly with regard to support in class by a coder in Spoken and Completed French Language (LfPC), reports France Blue. However, justice obliges him to do so.
It all starts in 2022 with the announcement from the department and the Normandy region of the end of aid allocated to APEDAC. Consequence: the association had to lay off nine people at the start of the 2023 school year, including seven LfPC coders. The fifteen families concerned therefore decided to turn to National Education to find a suitable solution.
Justice seized
Faced with the silence of National Education, the association decided to take the matter to court. The Nantes Administrative Court of Appeal finally ruled in his favor on the merits last June. But since then, nothing. However, justice gave two months to the Rectorate and the Directorate of Departmental National Education Services (DSDEN) of Calvados to come to the aid of APEDAC.
Today, the association still remains unanswered and the rectorate as well as the DSDEN do not respond to emails. “Some families pay a coder at their own expense. Others see their child getting tired in class, having difficulty following lessons. For all these children there is a real risk of dropping out of school,” explains Agnès Valette , the president of APEDAC.
