Graphic showing a child standing alone in a dimly lit room, gazing at a window. The accompanying text reads: 'Everyone understands that a blind child can't be forced to read fine print through behavior management. Instead, they're given necessary accommodations like Braille or audiobooks. But because neurodevelopmental disabilities are more complex and diverse, individual needs often get ignored. Instead of understanding and meeting these needs, the focus shifts to controlling behavior, silencing the child’s basic need for support.' At the bottom, the ICARS logo, report covers, and the website theicarsreport.com are displayed with the hashtag #DyingForAnEducation
Blind children are given Braille or audiobooks, not punished for needing support. So why are neurodivergent children met with control instead of accommodations? It's time to prioritize understanding of disabilty over behavior management. #DyingForAnEducation #AgainstRestraint #ICARS
