When I advocate for children’s voices to be heard, I am told of the dire consequences that will follow if we allow children to make meaningful choices. ‘They’ll never do anything hard’ I’m told. Or ‘We’d have no doctors or engineers if we did that’. Here’s why that’s wrong.1/

Excellent comments by Skye Kakoschke-Moore CEO of CYDA on the "choice" furphy in this article by #ActuallyAutistic ABC News journalist @AutisticNickAU (another great aspect - to see disabled people reporting on these important issues!)

We could not be more grateful to all the wonderful people who have generously lent their voices to speak up on behalf of Western Australian kids. Thank you to Alfie Kohn - for showing us the way, caring for our kids and for educating their grownups to do better 💜💜💜

Unfortunately I can't be there as I will be in Melbourne. However, I urge everyone who has an interest in the future for our children to try and attend this protest. Our government appears to have no regard for social capital investment. This has to change.

We sincerely hope this training and advice involves improving compliance with DSE, DDA and CRPD to ensure these school leaders create and maintain universally accessible schools that welcome, teach and engage all students, including those with disabilities

How can I expect our society to respect and not devalue my son with Down syndrome when our laws and policies permit discrimination against this child and his family because he has the same disability? I hope Andrew Giles MP intervenes and lets them stay in their home, here in Perth

Andrew Whitehouse Hello Andrew, schools that segregate students on the basis of disability are not compliant with the right to inclusive education under #CRPD - which sees segregation as a form disability discrimination required to be phased out. Autism schools are segregation:

The feathers being ruffled by the idea of disabled people getting our right to inclusive education! “But other countries haven’t got rid of all their segregated schools!” No, but they’re ahead. Australia is in a slow race to the bottom. Outdated. Regressive. OECD declining.

They won’t “Get over it,” until their nervous system regulates it. They can’t “Just move on,” until their body feels safe to. They won’t “Just think positive” until their thoughts have been validated & they find relief. If it’s not trauma informed, it’s not meant to heal trauma.
