Parents in Corby who are part of the town's Autism Support Group say they're worried about changes to special needs statements.

Next year they will be replaced by 'Education Health & Care Plans' and parents are so concerned they've arranged a meeting with the government Minister for Children and Families.

Reporter Elinor Cross talks to Jan Mears, Chair of the Corby Autism Support Group, and 16 year old Logan Freer tells reporter Martin Borley how he has managed to overcome most of his disability.

Stuart talks to the Labour MP for Corby Andy Sawford who organised the meeting with the Minister.
