"We are extremely frustrated. It's been rejection after rejection," Martin from Kilcock said.
The father of a child with autism said he can not secure a special class secondary school place for his son.
Martin from Kilcock said his 12-year-old son has progressed so much in primary school but "has no where to go" for secondary school.
Speaking on Kildare Today, he said his partner and himself have contacted five schools but have been told there are no places.
Schools informed the family that there is no funding to provide additional space in a special class for their child.
Martin said his son has been in a special class in primary school and it has "worked wonders" for him but he would not be able to go into a mainstream classroom.
"We are extremely frustrated. It's been rejection after rejection," he said.
He said his partner may now be forced to consider home schooling options.
"Everything is a struggle," Martin said.
He said it even "took years" for his son to be diagnosed with autism.
