If I could change one thing...

During summer 2007, EDCM asked disabled children, young people, and their parents: 'If you were Prime Minister for the day, and could change one thing, what would it be?'

The top three things that disabled children told us they would change are:

More places to go and more things to do
'More activities available during the week for different age groups, with inclusion of everyone.'

More respect for disabled people
'Our communities should realise we are part of the community too. There has to be more positive roles for disabled people.'

To have the same right to a good education
'That "average" is all a disabled child is allowed to be. We should have the same rights as the other children in schools.'
