In the light of recent events on the exclusion of an autistic child from participating in a school trip and a Downs Syndrome child being kicked out of dance class because she couldn’t keep up, I feel the need to write this. There are boys and girls that nobody invites to birthdays for example. There are special kids who want to belong to a team but don’t get selected because it is more important to win than include these children. Children with special needs are not rare or strange, they only want what everyone else wants: to be accepted !!
