BBC Radio NottinghamFamilies with disabled children in Nottinghamshire could be asked to pay more for childcare at home.
Nottinghamshire County Council has agreed to phase out a subsidy which helps with childcare for 46 families and was designed to improve education for the disabled and allow parents to go back to work.
Families will have to pay an average of £4,300 a year if they want to continue receiving the care.
