A Christian charity working with disabled people says it is not shocked that eight-out-of-ten mainstream schools do not have enough money to support Special Educational Needs (SEN) pupils.
Shelia Armstrong, Leader for Client Services at the Torch Trust, a group that works with blind and visually impaired people, told Premier's News Hour the report is nothing new.
She said: "I'm not surprised, I think it's been going on for years."
"A lot of cuts are going on, and have been. I think it all comes down to valuing a child, and giving a child the maximum opportunity, and I think that gets lost in the financial considerations."
She was speaking as a report by The Key, which provides schools with management support, suggested that 82% of mainstream schools do not have sufficient funding to provide adequately for them.
Statistics released last year show that 15% of children (1.3 million) have Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and that 1.1 million are in mainstream schools.
"A lot of it comes down to determination of teachers, finding out what can be done within the constraints that they have, I'm sure that a lot of extra hours have been given by teachers to try and meet that."
"Of course, that doesn't show up in a report like this."
Additionally, three quarters of schools have pupils who have waited longer than expected for an assessment or care plan and 88% of school leaders think teacher training does not adequately prepare new teachers to support children with Send.
A Department of Education spokesperson said: "Just 20 months ago we made fundamental changes to the way the Special Educational needs and Disabilities (SEND) support system works for families the biggest in a generation.
"These put children and young people with SEND at the heart of the process, ensuring that they are supported all the way through to adulthood.
"Since then, 74,000 young people have been given personalised education, health and care (EHC) plans.
It says more money was being supplied for pupils with "high needs".
