Katie Price thinks carers are lazy and ignorant

Katie Price speaks out, and the week's other disability stories
Katie Price, model, businesswoman and mother to disabled child Harvey, was outspoken in an interview with Sam Walker on BBC Radio 5 live this Monday.

Walker asked her if she thought there was enough help available for families with disabled children. Price said, "There actually is a lot of help out there but some people are too ignorant and they don't want to look for the help." She mentioned that her son is "statemented" in the UK's standard education system and gets his medical treatment via the NHS: "But you do have to fill out the forms and you do have to take the time out to do it. If you look for it you can find it."

When pressed on what she meant by people being ignorant, Price said it could be that some parents are "too lazy". She said, "They probably think 'oh there isn't help' but you have to go and find it. It's not going to come to you… People might think that because their child is disabled that no one will want to help. Well, that's the wrong attitude because there is help if you go out and get it."

Price went on to say she would never want to change her son: "Not everyone's perfect. Just because we can walk and talk and see, doesn't mean to say we're perfect because we're not."
