THE idea of one’s son or daughter not being able to go to school is many parents’ worst nightmare. Indeed, many mums and dads have had to deal with that exact scenario for months of the past year and discovered just how painful it can be. Mandy Champ from Botley has now been dealing with such a situation for the past two years. And for her, however, the problem is not going to go away when schools reopen later this year. Mrs Champ’s problems are caused by the fact that her daughter has special needs: autism, separation anxiety, and obsessive compulsive disorder.
