Mother of a child with autism: They are a scourge on society because they require support every second
"Vladislava Tsolova on the exclusion of a child with autism from Nova Television: Struggle for rights and a dignified life
The chairperson of the association ""Autism Today"" and the National Patient Organization, Vladislava Tsolova, spoke on Nova TV regarding the expulsion of a 5-year-old child with autism from all kindergartens in Sofia, including a kindergarten for children with special needs, where the comment was: ""We have places, but we prefer a child with cerebral palsy or with intellectual disabilities over a child with autism.""
Vladislava Tsolova spoke about the difficult path that parents of children with autism must walk and about the strength of the silent brave—our special children!
She addressed the long and meaningful journey that Bulgaria must undertake for the well-being and dignified life of our children and the hard efforts we need to support the thorny path of our state!
According to the School and Preschool Education Act, effective from August 1, 2016, in which the association ""Autism Today"" actively participated in its drafting, children with communicative disorders who are educated in mainstream educational institutions have the right to a Teacher's Assistant, whose function is solely to support the special child and their integration.
For this to happen, however, the parent must be informed about their child's rights and become their biggest defender and advocate!"
