CHILDREN with special educational needs are making their voices heard on a website.
The youngsters, from across Teesside, shared their experiences of school on the website for Facilitating Inclusion North-East (Fine), a Government-run initiative to increase integration for special-needs students.
The best entries to the website are being honoured at a ceremony today, in Newcastle.
The competition was called I'm In and pupils were asked to think about who or what helped them feel included at school.
Among the prize winners was PJ McCarron, from St Paul's RC Primary School, in Stockton.
The six-year-old shared his experience of being invited for tea at his friend's house in words and pictures.
The children will receive prizes at the ceremony at the Government Office for the North-East in Newcastle from blind BBC Radio Cleveland presenter Mark Turnbull.
