“Our daughter has a rare genetic condition which impedes her mobility, causes severe hypermobility and has short stature (to name a few issues). At 3 1/2 she is still in nappies and only now is she just able to walk short distances and she needs input from orthopaedics, walking aids, and physiotherapy to help her. She is also autistic and nonverbal. The lack of changing facilities (baby or accessible) is not going to be a temporary problem for us. In fact, this is something which is going to affect the quality of her entire life. This issue is about giving real choice and fair access to the world around us. It is about treating each individual with respect and valuing their humanity. Embrace our diversity. Encourage acceptance. Facilitate REAL inclusion. When one member of a family is unable to participate in society, the chances are the whole family will also find difficulty.”
