"Services for disabled children are currently funded through Aiming High for Disabled Children  (AHDC) until 2011. The three main political parties have said that they are committed to continuing the work of the AHDC programme, but have not yet confirmed whether funding for disabled children will be protected in the face of public sector cuts."
