Petition Make an allowance for children with social challenges to have term time holiday
Children on the autistic spectrum for instance can find being around others difficult, it can be overwhelming and make them very uncomfortable. They often need more space and time to adjust and process and they ought to have the opportunity for a relaxing holiday, like any one else.
More details
Term time holidays would allow for a quieter environment, more physical and mental space, slower / calmer interactions with people, less stress caused by social situations, less queuing, less waiting, a break from peers, the result being a calmer and more relaxed child and therefore family.
