Our director Milan Šveřepa
wrote an article for a website called Apolitical.
Apolitical writes news for governments.
In his article, Milan talks about deinstitutionalisation
of children with disabilities.
We know that growing up in an institution
is very bad for children.
That’s why many children are not living in institutions anymore.
They can stay with their families.
They get the support they need where they live.
And they do not need to move anywhere else.
But this doesn’t happen very often for children with disabilities.
In Europe, most children living in institutions
are children with disabilities.
These children should live a better life
outside of institutions.
Politicians can help with that.
Politicians should make sure that children with disabilities
get:
- early support
- a good education
- a good job
Early support means helping children with disabilities
and their families
very early.
Just after they are born.
There are cases in which children with disabilities
get the support they need.
But this only happens a few times.
It should happen all the time.
