In Government publications change the word 'Special' in 'SEND'
I would like the Government to change the word 'Special' in 'Special Educational Needs & Disabilities' (SEND) as it's extremely unfair as we may have issues in life but we have Additional Needs, not Special Needs.
I have got Autism and Moderate Learning Difficulties including a Stammer but I am not Special. I understand that I have got Additional Needs but I don't have Special Needs as we are the same as everyone else and we are no different from anyone else in life and I find it very discriminating in my eyes as you're kind of mocking us for what we are in life. We may have issues in life but we are what we are and people need to deal with it. Don't call us 'Special Needs', change it to 'Additional Needs'.
