Four years have not been invited to cala – because of a disability

When a mother discovered that her four year old son was the only one not to have been invited to Calas, she initially thought it was a mistake.

After a little detective work, it turned out that the son had not been invited because of his speech troubles.

But it is not the other preschool children, but the parents who made the decision to exclude the area from the community.

– The heart breaks. It's an incredible smallness, because it's actually the parents and not the children who choose to leave. We will realize that we have such an incredible way of attracting these children. He has a disability that gives him a disability, "says the mother of SVT News.

Inadequate policy

The four-year-old girl suffers from a language disorder that makes communication more difficult. However, he did not encounter any problems for four years to understand his environment. The mother had to explain to her son why he was the only one in preschool class without invitation.

The event shook the mother who decided to contact the parents of the school group in an email in order to agree how to act in these situations.

The granddaughter's parents acknowledged that they had foolishly treated the invitations, but they defended themselves: "It's so difficult that no one understands what he's saying".

Other parents chose to boycott the ball to defend the four-year-old son.

– It was a fantastic statement. But it's a pity for the child who's full of years, it becomes an adult policy problem, "says SVT's mother.

Aphasia Federation: "Common problem"

Linda Bergfeldt, Chancellor of the Afasia Association, organizes activities for children with language disorders and their loved ones, because of her disability.

In the case of four years, Linda Bergfeldt criticized the lack of policy on the part of preschool.

– All conscious kindergartens generally have a policy of not issuing invitation cards to kindergarten. It is usually included in the discrimination policy that it is taken care of privately. This situation may be due to a lack of knowledge and insight. But there is also no experience for this boy and his parents, "said Linda Bergfeldt at SVT.

Children with disabilities tend to be even worse treated when they reach school age, making it important to avoid early treatment. According to Linda Bergfeldt, the solution has been synonymous with better knowledge of society.
