Why this petition matters

Started by Kath Smith

Growing strengths and supporting challenges. Changing classrooms and the way children are taught! Changing lives forever… offering a future where success is as easily possible as for peers. Ensuring “children understood” because, “every child matters” to borrow a phrase from Dr Zoe Mailloux and the ASI 2020 Vision Goal 2 - the EASI initiative. 

This bill great news indeed - a jolly good start! I wonder if Mr Hancock could ensure all children are screened for neurodiversity - the earlier assessment and support happens the better fior developing brains and bodies!  

This initiative will be life changing not just for the person their development and learning, mental health and well-being, but also for the pockets of the state coffers long term!

The world is not kind to many people with neurodiversity - being neurodiverse doesn’t hurt all but it can and does break many - and the numbers speak for themselves in the research. Neurodiversity is over represented in mental health services and prison settings because at the moment the world in general is not built to and does not work in a way that builds on the strengths of people with neurodiversity. We, society, can build better places and spaces and teach ways of living that are truly “just right” for anyone. Legislating for neurodiversity helps - it changes the landscape and make clear a direction of travel.
