Mum proposes alternate school terms for special needs kids

“If there was even the remote possibility of shifting the school year for special needs kids by a few weeks or a month, I believe the impacts would be felt immediately!” Kathrine says.“

The benefits for businesses would see an increase in client interactions throughout the year and for the neurodiverse community hotels, theme parks, beaches, playgrounds, shopping centres would be so much quieter. It would give our kids a chance!”

Big ask…..absolutely………but if you don’t ask the question then it will never be considered right?

Thank you to Kidspot for opening this conversation up for discussion.
