- A child with a disability is a child with a special ability -

Disability is the lost or limitation of the ability to take part in the normal life of the community on and equal level to others due to physical and social barriers.
Who are we?
We are parent who want our young people to grow into adults who are proud of whom they are.

We want to be on our disabled children's side, taking time to learn how things look from their point of you. We call that being an ally. We understand that having Dyslexia or Downs Syndrome, cerebral palsy or Epilepsy give you an unique and valuable view of the world, a view that must be hearted

Inclusion is

·More than integration Young people being taught together in an ordinary classrooms Specialist support being brought to the child

Ordinary schools changing.

Focus on a child's strength and abilities
all young people learning about the history of disabled people.
Accepting difference as ordinary and not an excuse to dismiss, reject or ridicule.

Young disabled people never being forced to lead separate lives away from their families and communities.
Young disabled people getting the full and effective education they need.
We meet many barriers and attitudes from the past, which seem to deny our dreams for our children.

But we get together over the phone, in each other houses, at support group meetings and conferences to learn from each other and from disabled people how to challenge plan and succeed. To lead full and effective lives as adults.
The views, opinions of young disabled people and children being valued and acted on.
