Parents praise the center for its vital, no-wait services—offering respite, tutoring, and social clubs that’ve transformed families like Johnny’s, whose twins once triggered each other dangerously but now thrive with guidance. Founder Sharon Hourihane blasts the state for lacking therapies and schools, and criticizes teacher training for ignoring real-world special education needs. Funded entirely by donations, the playground will be shared with local schools and resource centers, ready in time for summer camps—a beacon of hope for families across Ireland.
