I just tried to post this before, so sorry if it comes up twice.
Dd2 is changing school this Spetember. She has an unusual disability (missing hand)
The main problem she has at the moment is people asking... and asking and staring... and staring and asking... you get the picture.
Anyway the school reckon they can cure this by sending round three older children already at the school with different disabilities (one blind, one deaf, and one with mobility problems) to talk to the year classes dd2 will go into.
Now dd2 would probably love to do this in later years, but I'm a little bit uncomfortable about it. It feels a little like a show (perhaps a "look how inclusive we are"?)
I wondered whether I'm being a bit silly feeling this way and whether it's actaually a great chance for these children to be able to talk to the other classes. They have done this before.
Would you be pleased or not if it was your child asked to do this?
