Petition Make learning and understanding about disabilities part of the curriculum.

As a mother of a young child who has Autism it's a topic close to my heart. We will encounter people from all backgrounds around the world in life that will have a disability. Teaching our youth of today about disabilities and how we are all equal instead of growing up with no knowledge/awareness.

More details

In current curriculum there's areas that need a helping hand. I'm sure that many will agree that there's alot of unhelpful information you received that didn't really help you in 'real' life. By signing this petition your giving people who haven't got a voice a chance to push for a cause that I feel should have always been in place. Why aren't we made aware of disabilities and how we can help others. "Bless those that see the world through a different window and those who understand their view"
