Lets prepare the World for our Children . . .
As Mum to 2 fabulous adult children, the eldest of whom has Autism I have realised there are many everyday barriers our children face in society which need addressing and removing. We need to celebrate and understand difference and help the wider community take positive steps towards inclusion for all.
We need to work together to create a more understanding, accepting society which recognizes and values all abilities and realises the importance of every single achievement and milestone reached for those with additional requirements.
